hi Robert, kathy and i also enjoy birding in a 2 man canoe. :>) a few years ago we decided that we want to cover more distance easily, and had heard that longer boats go better than shorter ones. we rented a 17, which was much better than our 16. ended up buying a kevlar 18 sundowner (42 lbs). now then, long trips (12-15 1/2 day) are easy. car topping is easy. very sociable boat. and never any discussion about how much gear kathy can carry. cases of lots of suntan lotion. glad to hear about your eagle sighting... let's hear of other birds. bye bye bliven *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net ***************************************************************************

>glad to hear about your eagle sighting... let's hear of other birds. I hear there is a nude beach on Sauvies Island on the Columbia. And of course there is always Rooster Rock on the Columbia - I have only been there once. As we motored by I did have a sighting or two. One particular bird seemed to be enjoying herself immensly(sp?) as she ran around an anchored sail boat. If ever I kayak there I may remove all of my clothes except, and I am sure John Winters would agree, my sprayskirt. I may be married but I want to remain fashionable. I washed my rain pants and jacket with that Nikwax stuff last night. My rain jacket had not been treated in several years and was basically not working. I'll post the results as soon as I wear it. Brian. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net ***************************************************************************
