That does leave me the freedom to paddle, drift, get pulled by kite, umbrella, rain poncho, spinnaker, or even put up a sail, and not give much thought to it except for the enjoyment of the moment(and the constant vigil for safety of course):-) And I've been dying to ask if anyone has come up with a SIMPLE way to devise a mickey mouse sail for a SOT without a rudder. Just got back from a canoe trip where my golf umbrella as a sail was fun - but my paddling partner was the rudder. I can do some simple sewing. The problem is not having a rudder to steer with and I don't want to mess about with a mast. << Bottom line: use the delete button if you see the word sail in the header if the subject matter is distasteful. I sure do when I see certain words..(feathered, roll, wetsuit, etc):-)>> So do I! IMHO, Mark's tone was friendly, John's last zinger (some tongue-in-cheek comment that's not on my screen now about "I didn't understand what you were saying) was decidedly trying to appear superior and a real put-down. tch tch Sandy Kramer Miami *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Tue Nov 30 1999 - 03:23:45 PST
