I'm ignoring the suggestions about trading in the wife; she still has a lot of good life left in her, and anyway, I've already taught her to paddle. So this afternoon the two of us went back to Weat and traded the Mistral in on a Standard 350, for merely twice (well, almost) as much money. It's submersible, has a charger and can use alkalines, and is smaller besides. I kept the bag, and intend to use it that way.
