The perpetrators obviously knew something about kayak gear in that they passed over the GPS, the UHF, the graphite paddle, etc and took only the CBRs.They are grayish in color(the rocks not the perpetrators) with a speckling and somewhat rounded. If you are offered a deal that seems too good to be true on a matched set of Canadian Ballast Rocks it probably is. I dare not set out on the ocean without them...... mark. >> Mark, I confess to taking the Matching Set of Canadian Ballast Rocks. You see, I already have a good GPS and VHFand plastic paddles of any quality and price suck, but I needed those speckled rocks desperately. What I so desperately needed them for was to slip into a passing local's portage pack during my next trip to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness that is the ONLY designated wilderness area in the United States that allows motorboats on wilderness lakes and trucks on portages due to alot of squaking by locals. I think it is a $$$$$$$$ thing. The addition of 20 some odd pounds of water worn solidified mother earth is just my subtle message to them that they aren't the only ones who can pull one off. If you fail to find them before too long, look on Prarie Portage as this was his next portage to carry them across. I know he knew they were in his pack as I stuck a note on it while slapping him on the back while we visited on the portage trail just like the kids in Junior High School used to put those "kick me" signs on our backs. Some people just never grow up do they?
