We took all the gear in one trip. The Native Ultimate packs up pretty well. I had a 10 x 10 canopy, an 8 man tent, a couple of camp chairs, and a cooler on board. Wouldn't have wanted to do an open water crossing, but it made a nice short distance barge.

Hey Rik...

The lovely Miss Daniela and I just returned from our annual end of the year camping trip.

She's back in the water like a liberal on the government dole!

Well it took damned near 5 months and literally hundreds of hours, but I finally caught my first (decent) Tarpon on a fly. While I had jumped two this Season that were ten times her size, this little beauty graced my presence on what would have been my dearly departed mother's 76th birthday. I am do...
