Some people need Official Canadian Ballast Rocks (TM); others need to lighten up a little, we guess.

I paddled to Canada today is search of Official Canadian Ballast Rocks (TM). It did just happened to be a planned club trip to Fort Lenox on the Richelieu River (river connecting Lake Champlain and St. Lawrence River, Quebec Providence). I know that I was in the wrong part of Canada, but with their international reputation I was sure that I could find a source for some. No luck, as a matter of fact, all the building stones for the fort had originally come from the US. I think that I did discovered what the French Canadians use instead of Ballast Rocks. The only Canadian Kayaker I saw was paddling a double and he had two small kids in his boat, one in the front cockpit and the other in the middle hatch...seemed to work, as he disappeared paddling north. I wanted to tell him about Official Canadian Ballast Rocks (TM) but I don't speak French. frank *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************
I must apologize to all those paddlers who forwarded cheques for Official Canadian Ballast Rocks (TM) to me since my last post. I had stated that I would be on Superior on the weekend and would pick up some. To make a long story short, we had some blustery weather move in which brought with it some swell swells. I spent the day surfing in Brule Bay, rather than picking up the Official Canadian Ballast Rocks (TM). Nothing too intense -- just set after set of long, perfectly formed waves. As the day went on the waves washed away my cares, including my rock picking duty. I wish I could put my day in a package and ship it to you, but I can't. All I can do is ask you to be patient, and to send further cheques.
