I have a 26' cruiser that spends most of its life on Lake Superior. We
like to anchor and explore sea caves, small rivers and the islands
without a motor, but the mother ship doesn't have enough space to store
real kayaks in a way that won't obstruct vision from the lower helm.
Also we have storms that come up in the summer that will blow things
away that aren't securely stowed somewhere.

So I have come up with the idea of the inflatable kayak, some of which
appear to be quite well made, particularily those made by Innova, AIRE,
Graber, Apex and IBC. I have been advised not to get a self-bailing
one, as they tend to be wetter and Lake Superior is often COLD.

Any ideas out there about this topic?
