    Great post and really informative. I've been to the Stromness Museum a couple times as it's right around the corner from family... and only until now, through your post, have I realised that Rae was actually using a 'packraft'. I remember looking at it when I was younger thinking 'hmm, what an ingenious idea'... now I know!
