Hello fellow PaddleWisers, This message regards the updated Introduction received by PaddleWise subscribers and notice of a new PaddleWise website under construction. I'm forwarding to the list the revised "Introduction" for subscribers. Because I know it is sometimes difficult to find time to read all that stuff :-), I'll highlight the points: 1) I've added a section regarding use of PaddleWise messages on the PaddleWise website. 2) The "points of etiquette" are now indicated as "list policy." What has been added in that section is that "email addresses may not be collected from PaddleWise posts for the sending of unsolicited advertisements or unsolicited bulk email (UBE, UCE, spam) whether commercial or not," and that "PaddleWise posts and subscriber email addresses may not be reproduced or redsitributed outside the PaddleWise list without the permission of the author." I made a promise to the PaddleWise community that your privacy would be protected and I would do everything within my power to protect your email addresses from internet abuse. I intend to keep that promise. I'm in the process of moving everything from the current PaddleWise URL to a new location with lots of additional topics. The new website will include favorite links of members, favorite photos and favorite trips from members' postings and trip reports. Chuck Holst has generously provided an article on how to make your own dry bags and has also updated his article on making Greenland Paddles adding new information about the history and styles and some new illustrations and tips for people with woodworking experience. Thanks, Chuck! I will be providing the URL for the new PaddleWise website soon. I still have a lot of work left in removing email addresses from posts and contacting for permission but I think it's worth it. I hope you will too. :-) And I believe I can safely include the entire PaddleWise community in saying a very big THANKS to all of you that contribute here and make this list so valuable to so many. THANKS!

Sort of a weirdie: Millbrook Boats "Hooter", an older whitewater slalom solo open canoe design. 13'-2" long, 26" beam, pretty edgy (meaning tippy, especially to those not used to this kind of boat), yellow in color, composite construction - fiberglass, Kevlar and some carbon. Hull weight about 35 lbs, 45 lbs as outfitted now (but without float bags). Contact me offlist if interested, or know someone who might be.
