Default Mountain bike stowage

oYou are gonna laugh at this. Has any one tried sea kayaking whilst
carrying (I mean stowed on deck) a mountain bike?

The plan so far is for 3 of us (hopefilly one experienced kayaker) and
me and my mate to do various short crossings to hebridean islands
basing our forays from Mull or skye carrying mountain bilkes.(only 2
bikes) maybe lash the 2 wheels on the foredeck and frames behind us?


We are very experienced MTBers but have limited kayak (hence 3rd
member, any volunteers?)


We won't be silly and I have started to read all things kayak befor we
start to train.


I have been given a new sea kayak by a friend and it is 16M long ! I
may have to sell this for something shorter.


Anybody tried carrying or towing bikes?





Thanks
