So if anyone is interested and would like to reply direct or >on Paddlewise I'll give the results of a 'straw poll' next week! My kayak is bright red and was purchased on the fourth of July weekend, so I have on occasion referred to it as "The Firecracker". I threatened to name it "Independence", but that didn't stick either. Mostly, it's "the kayak" or "the Heron" or "the boat." The van that I tow the kayak around (on a trailer) is named "Smoky Joe", however -- it needs a ring job. -- Wes *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Fri Jul 02 1999 - 19:22:03 PDT
