[Paddlewise] Rules of the roas

Actually, I own three kayaks and four shells, so I do not have the same
bias as others here.  If I am in the mood for strenuous exercise and
speed, I use a shell.  If I am in the mood to commune with nature and
want light exercise, I use a kayak.  For camping, a kayak is required
because there is no storage in a shell.

As to speed, I have been talking three mile head races and you have been
talking 1,000 meter sprints.

Moreover, I am not of the view that shells are generally superior to
kayaks.  I know that position is held by sailboats, which is what most
of you folks really would enjoy most and try to turn your kayaks into.
