Laura, did you and Kevin have boating experience before you purchased the Airship?
Not really, Janna. Kevin sailed Hobie 16s with his brother when they were growing up in Texas, and my grandpa and my mom had sailboats when I was little (in Southern California) that I was on quite a bit. Kevin and I had a Hobie Tandem Island that we traveled with sometimes with the Airstream (an 18 ft tandem kayak with outriggers and a sail)…but no real experience with boats like Airship. (Sorry for the late reply!)
