Re: [Paddlewise] FW: Drybags

Rich, I called Seattle Fabrics on this before going to Baja. They
offered me their catalog (at a price... $5 I think!) but would not give
me any information on a pattern for dry bags, just made vague reference
to it being an article. The pattern is not sold or mentioned in their
catalog. I can't order material without knowing how much is required...
so I need a pattern first, but wasn't able to get them to give me a
pattern... and round and round we go. Can't someone just scan the sucker
and send it to me??
