Yup. I'm not sure where Phil paddles but I don't think the jetskiiers I've encountered would be intimidated by a paintball pistol. And I sure wouldn't want the only thing between me and a ticked-off jetskiier to be a paintball gun and a plastic sea kayak.... Maybe Tiny would be a better choice.... :-) Cheers, Jackie \ / | \ / \ | / __ ___ / __( ( )_ _( )___ \ | / _( ( ) __ __ _ _( )__ _( _( ) ______ ( ) ( ( )_ __ ( ( )__ __( ( ) ________ __ _( ______( ) _( ( ) ___ ___ _ __ (___ _ ___) ( ) __ ____ / | (_______ ( _ _ ) __ _ ___ | \ (_____ __ _(_ _ _ ) / \ / | \ _ _ / \O/ \ / | \ " __ __ _ _ _ ///\wVw/\\\ \\ / \0/ \ ////|\\\\ \\ " /// Y \\\ `\ (((/v\))) _/ \, //"\\ (/",o /{) _ ///|\\\ _ (_at___y// \ ||\///"\\\/|| [ [.`,___\ \\\\||"||//// [___`----+) \-----mm-`mm"mm--mm---------+---+-----\---------------') ~~~~jf~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~\~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ o \ o o \\ o o \\ o ` (\ o o >jf:-) o (/ o o o *************************************************************************** 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 Wed Jun 02 1999 - 13:41:48 PDT
