Scott, are you guys making fun of me? Paddling out of North Uist, I had to
really put rocks in the tippy l'il Brit boats for ballast. (Except on
expedition when we were loaded with camping gear). I can definitely
testify that the Lewisian gneiss makes good ballast, having probably twice
the specific gravity of the South Florida oolitic limestone. e
