Adventure is inevitable...

I finally pulled the trigger on a packraft from Alpacka. Nancy at Alpacka is just fantastic and was nice enough to send a few photos of my boat in progress yesterday. I'm pumped! (pun intended)

Its interesting that my friends that limit their adventures to shopping malls and golf courses seem to think this is by far the craziest piece of gear that I've picked up to date. I guess its the alien element of moving water combined with the 'pool toy' perception. My last few pieces of gear are going to make new trips with less boundaries possible. I can't wait!

  2. This one is mine... the 2012 style spray deck should be installed by now. It should ship today or Monday. Can't wait! You're more than willing to take it for a whirl if I'm ever up your way or you make it down here.

  3. Keep up the "crazy", it's much more fun than the malls and golf course.

  4. Your boat has a very interesting shape. I didnt realize how tapered they were. It looks like it will track well.

  5. The first indication that you're on the right track is when boring people tell you you're "crazy" for wanting to do something.
