One of the paddlers on last weeks overnight trip to Ten Thousand Islands had a wing shelter. It was worth it's weight in gold around noon, when the sun was at it's hottest. It was almost cool underneath. It was the first thing up and the last to be packed, and provided all the paddlers with sun shelter during our stay on Picnic Key. I've seen catalogs with the Moss, REI and Walrus shelters. Prices vary from $49 to $199 for what seems like the identical shelter. In addition, there seems to be a variety of poles available. Some are steel and others are aluminum, both shock corded and telescoping. This shelter seems like the ideal accessory, even for a day paddle, for a more refreshing lunch break. What are the groups experience with wing shelters? The other items I found were a must have are some form or roll up table and comfortable chairs all which have to be light weight and able to fit through a small Valley hatch. cya *************************************************************************** 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 Fri Mar 12 1999 - 07:12:49 PST
