This was a trip we did a few years ago, paddling from Kaingahoa marae to Urapukapuka bay campsite. The kayak was loaded with camping gear, including a queen size air mattress, a tent big enough to stand up in, a chilly bin, and a whole second tent we used for storage.

The paddling distance was just under 3km, and took just under an hour.

    The tow was quite steady, I had a ten metre line between me and the towed kayak, which had a bit of stretch in it.

    The line doesn’t typically foul like that, it will typically go past the rudder on one side or the other. I can always flip the rudder up and back down again to get the line out of the way.

    Overall, the tow went better than I expected, and we made reasonable speed across.
