Packing for the next trip

It's a short break in Woerden: Yesterday I returned from the Anglesey Seakayak Symposium, tomorrow I'll leave again to join the meeting of the kayak-guides and instructors of the Salzwasserunion at the German Wadden-Isle Spiekeroog.
On Anglesey it was camping the luxe. At Spiekeroog it will be "back to the basics": everything must fit in the kayak, because we'll paddle to Spiekeroog. And packing volume in a Tahe Greenland kayak is limited...
"Als de kat van huis is, dansen de muizen": because the family wasn't home today I took the opportunity and packed the kayak in the living...

Hoeveel van de Tahe Greenlander steekt nog boven water uit als hij vol beladen is ?

Hallo Petra!
...dat vind ik zelf ook spannend - ik ben benieuwd. Gelukkig ben ik zelf niet erg zwaar en bljft de bagage ook beperkt tot zo'n 15 kg. Het moet lukken, maar veel vrijboord zal er niet over blijven ;-)
groetjes,
Hans

probably it is one full ikea-bag and the greenlander is overloaded. :-)

Hi M!
Test approved: I succeeded to squeeze one and a half Ikea bags into the Greenland - and was still afloat ;-). This really is a brilliant kayak - also for the weekend camping trip!
greetings,
Hans

Ooh, those Tahe Marines are sweet. One of my clubmates just got one in April. Candy apple red.
