I think I will forward his admission to a fellow Canadian of his who has been trying to tell us all along how poorly prepared John is for anything wet (other than a Molson's) that he might as well make out a will before every paddling trip. That individual will feel vindicated. :-) ralph -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ralph Diaz . . .
