Anyone here have suggestions for flotation bags for a non bulkheaded kayak? I've looked at REI and NRS but both have bags which seem a little small. The largest one made by REI is 51x22 inches (deflated). Could use an inch or 2 extra in the width. thanks, David Yup, it's still rainin' in Juneau *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************

I caught it this time but my post to Andree went out for all to see. This brings up a couple of questions. First, is there an easier way to post to the list than I am doing. Now I usually hit reply to author (as I discovered this makes the nice little marks in front of the old posts to distinguish them) and then change the To: address to the paddlewise address I copy off the bottom of the original. The "Reply to newsgroup" choice doesn't show up highlighted as a valid choice on my browser (IE4.0) and I have been afraid to use "Reply to all" for fear I will email everyone in my address folder with what I am sending to paddlewise. Is there something I can do to make the "Reply to newsgroup" choice work? Make it a button in the header? Second question. We have a float bag made for us that seems to be just what David wanted to find. Would it have been inappropriate if I had E-mailed the specs to the whole group (as almost happened accidently and I don't know why) as it is a product that others might be interested in but most likely don't yet know it exists. I don't want to abuse this group with advertising but I'm not sure where the line is between information and advertising.

1) I suggest you add an entry in your application's addressbook to make it easier to compose _new_ messages. For current topics, please use the Reply functions, as this will put information in the mail header that helps other people's software show discussion threads properly. 2) Generally "Reply to All" means to reply to the sender and all recipients _of the current message_. Generally you can trim the recipient list before actually sending the reply. E.G., I usually choose Reply To All and then remove either the author or the mailing list address, depending on whether my post is intended to be public. Reply to Newsgroup won't be a choice simply because paddlewise is distributed via email rather that USENET-style news servers. 3) Regarding replying to David, only he can say for sure, but it looks like he added a Reply-To header to his message to encourage replies to be sent to the list. Some mailing lists do this automatically. Paddlewise doesn't. Last time a list I was on "discussed" this issue, it was longer than the "Swede form" thread; in other words, don't go there ;-) I hope this makes sense. I can't give more specific details since I don't use IE/Outlook Express (or MS Windows for that matter). And I'm not sure the list would want more details anyway. ;-) -Peter On Sat, 29 May 1999, Matt Broze wrote: > I composed a private E-mail to David but it almost got sent to this list > because when I hit reply to author the paddlewise name came up.

I have been using the Voyager Stow Float bags for a number of years. The provide plenty of buoyancy and they have a sealable opening for stowing camping gear. My boats have a line running to the bow and stern for pulling the bags up into the peak. If you have the same arrangement make sure to tell the Mfg to put tie loops at each end, Bill Low ----- Original Message ----- From: David Moeny <dmoeny_at_bigfoot.com> To: <PaddleWise_at_lists.intelenet.net> Sent: Friday, May 28, 1999 7:50 AM Subject: [Paddlewise] float bag recommendations? > Anyone here have suggestions for flotation bags for a non bulkheaded kayak? > I've looked at REI and NRS but both have bags which seem a little small.
