As sring rolls around I am finding less time to read my growing pile of E-'s, but I wanted to throw my 2 centavos in on this thread. Last August at the Outdoor retailer show in Salt Lake I purchased a Walrus Aero Tarp. It looked interesting and was *way* cheaper than the Moss. BTW, REI now owns both Moss and Walrus. It comes in three sizes and I was able to purchase the show model <middle size> for a trip the next week. It worked great. Since then I have purchased all three sizes for use on our guided trips and such. If the Moss seems a little high priced and the ol' blue tarp isn't cutting it any more consider on of the Walrus tarps. I think REI *must* carry them, though I rarely visit <competitors and all> ;^) Steve Scherrer Alder Creek Kayak and Canoe 250 NE Tomahawk Isle Dr Portland, Oregon 97217 Phone: 503.285.0464 Fax: 503.285.0106 Web: http://www.aldercreek.com Email: aldercreek_at_aldercreek.com Email: acks_at_teleport.com ______________________________________________ *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************
