The last of my kayak fishing buddies who had yet to experience fishing out of the Tandem Island reluctantly gave it a go this afternoon. As the wind gusts increased, the fishing fell off so we decided to sail. After just a few minutes he proclaimed the Tandem Island an “Awesome Boat” and said it was the most fun he’d had in some years. He also mentioned that his wife is not to see this video - if she finds out he had fun, there will be hell to pay. So his official public statement is that he hated every minute of it. That’s his story and he’s sticking to it. (He's already called me twice since we came off the water to let me know how much fun he had.)

Very cool. That's one of the great things about the Tandem! You can just let someone else take control, and once that happens... we all know what's next!

:D :D :D

I fondly remember taking a friend for a sail and hearing "is this a tiller here?" from the rear seat and then spending the next hour sitting in the front seat as a passenger! :D
