No you don't! I have 'em and will need 'em for me and my lovely wife! That is, if that's okay with you.

If so, put us down for "Yes" and we'll come out for one night.

P.S. I used Neo's kayaks to take a friend out to Bear Island last week to camp out and it was great. Looking forward to going back.

I am off that weeked. I want to go. I have a new Wilderness Systems touring Kayak. However it would be over a 6 hour drive for me.... I am going to have to see if I can get some fellow hanger friends from SC to make the drive with me.
