The seat was a partially inflated foil bag from a "box of wine." Not only was it equipped with a rudder but it also had a boat and paddle tether. The owner of this kayak was a woman. Her name is Audrey Sutherland. >> Audrey Sutherland is amazing. I have seen her slide show a number of times. Ten years ago I saw her at a Mountaineers club lecture. She ended her talk with a saying something like "Go now, GO ??---, Go solo" It was the go solo advice that drew gasps from the crowd. The Mountaineer club is noted for going in large groups with strict discipline. If I paddled an inflatable kayak I would want a rudder or maybe a gun to put myself out of my misery. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
