Our plan for this (more like wishful thinking at this point) is a pair
of inflatable kayaks,one of them a tandem.  Fast and fun, and useful

is that I have a 3 hp outboard that I never use and would love to put it
into use, but I think the slatted dingy would be too big to carry around?  I
sail out of the Savannah, GA area, but only need the dingy on trips to S.
Florida and other trailer-sailing destinations.
