Apologies to Paddlewise readers. I misread Mark Hunt's post on paddlefloats to have come across our local Chesapeake Paddlers Association listserver, not the Paddlewise server. (It <was> early!) Y'all don't know Greg Welker or Ron Casterline, so none of that would have made sense. Sorry for the infusion of the local humor and interest. The float idea still makes sense, but it's a repeat. While I'm at it, I passed incomplete gouge on the "fuzzy wetsuit" issue, as well, when I stated that I hadn't found long or short johns in Malden Mills Rubberized Thermal Stretch material yet. At the time, the statement was true; since then, as someone pointed out, Lochsa Connection <www.gorp.com/lochsa> or <lochsa_at_camasnet.com> has both long and short johns available in what they call Otter Skins ($116 US for either a long john or a long jane). And Dana Chladek at Rapidstyle <www.erols.com/rapids/GRO> has short johns in that material, too, with some plans for a long version next year.
