	Clyde, I received an awakening from your post.  I admit it. I
switched from feathered to un a couple of years ago and am very happy with
that decision.  However, I do still paddle feathered in a head wind if I get
tired of fighting it.  BUT . . . my awakening came from:

I normally just pull my long hair through the back of the baseball caps.
Surprisenly, when out in the ocean Sat and up on the Hudson Sun., I took the
time to braid my hair first and then stuff the braid through the cap.  After
my sympathy experience when reading the above, I think I will take the time
prior to every trip to braid my hair and give a visual to the back deck and
anything placed on it.  I do strive to become one with my boat but not in
this manner.  Although, I guess if it ever does happen I can just hack it
off with my trusty River Shorty knife, right?
