Ira, sounds like you had a nice day out on the island. I think you picked the best day of the weekend to go out there, i went on Friday and the winds were strong and blowing right down both sides of the island (out of the west?). I launched from the west end free launch just short of Fort Gaines and paddled through some pretty big whitecaps in the channel. I guess the tide was receding because when i got to the point their were huge breakers smashing into each other. With my lack of hip pads or knee braces i was toast. Air temp was pretty low also, which took away some of the fun. I just couldnt wait another day for my minicell foam from CLC. Anyone else out there customize their cockpits? sorry i missed you, robin lovelock mobile, al. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Mon Oct 26 1998 - 19:44:16 PST
