Some slalom gates are hung in downstream current; some in upstream; some in holes; some in eddies; some in still water. But what they have in common is that they are all fixed relative to the river bottom (or bank, or whatever). ---Rsk Rich Kulawiec rsk_at_gsp.org ************************************************************************** * PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ************************************************************************** * ------ Message Header Follows ------ Received: from multitech.com by multitech.com (PostalUnion/SMTP(tm) v2.1.9c for Windows NT(tm)) id AA-1998Jul26.183102.1944.308883; Sun, 26 Jul 1998 18:31:02 -0500 Received: from ns1.intelenet.net ([204.182.160.31]) by gateway.multitech.com with ESMTP id <16129>; Sun, 26 Jul 1998 19:35:33 -0500 Received: (from majordom_at_localhost) by ns1.intelenet.net (8.8.7/8.8.7) id RAA08682 Sun, 26 Jul 1998 17:31:23 -0700 (PDT) Received: from ns.intelenet.net (intelenet.net [204.182.160.1]) by ns1.intelenet.net (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id RAA08509 Sun, 26 Jul 1998 17:31:08 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gsp.org (rsk.itw.com [208.211.3.21]) by ns.intelenet.net (8.9.1/8.9.1) with ESMTP id RAA08026 for <PaddleWise_at_lists.intelenet.net>; Sun, 26 Jul 1998 17:31:03 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from rsk_at_localhost) by gsp.org (8.9.1/8.9.1) id UAA16169; Sun, 26 Jul 1998 20:31:52 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: <19980726203150.A16152_at_gsp.org> Date: Sun, 26 Jul 1998 19:31:50 -0500 From: Rich Kulawiec <rsk_at_gsp.org> To: PaddleWise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subject: Re: [Paddlewise] Does the paddle move?

I'm not sure what he was referring to, because he didn't specify, and I'm really not sure what point he was trying to make. But part of *my* point is that not all slalom gates are hung in current. ---Rsk *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************
