LOL!!! Sorry I can't make this trip bro. I hate for you to have to baby sit the whole team by your self. I'll help out next year. Hope you guys have a great trip.

They lost a customer when I can not take my PA 14, I tipped the crew good last year because I saw them work hard But someone must have complained.

A lot of the issue is that PA's take of a ton of space and dont fit in the racks. When you put those kayaks on the deck it makes it that much harder to walk around the boat and creates unsafe conditions for passengers and crew. Especially if there are a whole bunch of PA's. Even on trips where there are just 1 or 2 it really crowds up the deck which is already a problem on these trips due to the amount of gear that folks bring.

The weight of the PA is only a small part of the reasoning, there are plenty of guys that load up their Malibus and make them just as heavy as a PA.

All 5 trips we are running in 2013 filled up no problem without people being allowed to bring PA's. Obviously this change didnt hurt peoples decision to go and most everybody has been very understanding and have made other arrangements so that they could still attend.
