Only if it is "pressure cycled" in the water deeply enough to "burp" and "inverse-burp" can I imagine more than a teaspoon getting inside. Check the bag for leaks. Gotta have a second hole to get much inside. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** 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 Mon May 24 1999 - 16:13:29 PDT
