0) mohaw 16ft canoe - 78 lbs. bought 1972, sold ~ '90. great boat, just too
heavy for me to move around. it helped me make it through college.

1) we-no-nah sundowner-18'  canoe, 42 lbs. kathy and i like to cover a bit
of water from swamps to bays. great glide = vanishing miles. great room =
spread out and enjoy.

2) we-no-nah advantage-16'6  solo canoe, 36 lbs. i like it on tidal rivers
and sheltered bays... easy to get to any gear on board. this boat also
covers lots of miles.

3) current design pachena- 14'6 kayak, 38 lbs. kathy's boat. its just so
nice that she seldom lets me in it.

4) wilderness sytems  artic hawk- 18' kayak - 38 lbs. i needed to get even
with kathy and a retired buddy, who usually teaches us how to be humble at
race time.

5) a sit-on-top -??. this year kathy is getting even with me.

6) an olypmic kayak or surf ski-?? next year, i won't be out done by either
kathy or the retired guys, who show up every year in sleaker kayaks... they
are in florida now, training (hope a hipo steps on their new boats)... 

bye bye bliven
