Your Old Trips

Well, it's that time of year again, time to renew the web hosting. And for those of you that don't know, that has become a lot more expensive than it used to be. Fifty dollars a year is now several hundred. Not to mention the price of domain names has gone up ten-fold.

And I just found out that the nice folks at PayPal disabled all my Support buttons, and I never got a notice (although that may be my fault.) In any case, it is all working again now, so if you would like to make a small donation to help defray these costs, it would be greatly appreciated.

Drag-and-drop your trip file on this map

If you have a saved trip recorded on a GPS device (like most cell phones) you can drag-and-drop the file onto any map in this website, like the one above, and it will be rendered. These files are not uploaded or saved. The following formats are supported:

Adjust the map to your liking, then click the camera icon to make an image you can print or save. For a larger image, use full-screen mode. The map above is blank, but if you use a map with markers, they will be included.

This function is a bit wonky on some browsers and may require a page refresh between snapshots. Firefox works best.


This is for sit-on-top kayaks with closed hulls. Open-hull sit-inside kayaks don't really need hatches.

You can order any kind and size of hatch on eBay. They are easy to install - just trace the hole on the hull and cut it out with a jigsaw. A hatch like this one has a storage bag for small items like keys and phone, which removes for access to the inside of the hull.
