Re: [Paddlewise] Shawn's gonna get flamed for not using painters!

Poor Shawn, I must come to your aid.  Just be patient and one of those
who have flamed you will break their kayaks back from putting too much
pressure on the bow & sterns. A kayak is much happier being firmly
attached near bulkheads or near the cockpit with perhaps a loosE
restaining line for emergency, off either bow OR stern but not both.
ONLY AN OPINION 
Hang in there, 
Pat
