<Chuckle>  I've lost a little bit myself, since I accidentally acquired
a small reputation for being able to glue 'n carve minicell foam
into appropriate shapes in whitewater boats.  But I can now use the
excuse that any cognitive breakdowns I might exhibit are due to
inhalation of too much HydroGrip in confined spaces. :-)

Seriously, thought, I'd like to reinforce one of your points: having
a boat that fits makes all the difference in the world.  I had a heck
of a time with my first boat, a Hydra Mustang, until a very nice person
helped me outfit it appropriately.  The change was amazing.  Now I always
tell people that they should wear their boat, not sit in it.
