We've realised that its going to be a tight squeeze to fit our growing mound of kit into the kayak (These are all the things we "need" to keep us comfortable, safe, entertained .. and for me to continue to run my business while we're away)
We decided that we needed to add various straps to help us pack things in efficiently. Tom had the idea of including a mesh "parcel shelf" velcroed to the frame in front of his knees.
To test these, we assembled the frame of our kayak* in the garden, without its skin . Here you see me testing the fit.
*The kayak is a Feathercraft, http://www.feathercraft.com/kayaks/traditional/k2/index.php This is a lovely bit of engineering, based loosely on an Inuit kayak, consisting of an aluminium and plastic frame, inside a polyuruthane/nylon skin. The great advantage is thats is a very seaworthy kayak, but can be folded up into two (large) bags and put in a car, train, bus, plane etc..
