Logs dive. Actually, I think it would dive, depending on the speed it
was towed. It would surface immediately, but that would put a lot of
strain on the line.... hmmm...


From this site:
http://www.wavelengthmagazine.com/2005/fm05primer.php

"Kayaks do not tow well. They tend to surf a boat’s wake, go broadside
and flip. Two kayaks will tow better than one if they are lashed together
at the bow and stern, creating a catamaran shape. The best plan for
towing is to put them inside your dinghy if you don’t have enough room on
the deck."



Jeff, this is invalid...Gary only wants to hear about your own
experiences. :-)

I think I am just gonna tow my kayak for a while and see. I'll let you
guys know how it turns out. If it gets squirrily or breaks loose I'll
just bring it aboard. I don't think anything awful will happen.


There you go... the scientific method. Good idea!
