I found the 8' Porta-Bote locally the day before I left and quickly modified the bolts that hold the seats on to use SS spring loaded pins. *When I took it to Fort Lauderdale, I wasn't really sure how I was going to get it to Marsh Harbor but Twin Air Calypso told me they would ship it freight. *Surprise surprise, when I got into the 6 seat twin engine plane, they had taken out three seats to ship my dinghy "Freight" with me next to it.

Those are neat. I really didn't know what a porta boat was. looks like

*It rows well with three grown men in it although I'd not want to go
any distance with three men.
