By the way, he has a nice website: <A >HREF="http://homepages.gs.net/seacajun">Arthur Hebert's Sea Kayak Page</A> . I specifically didn't mention his name because he's too much like us Duane...macho maniacs! And besides, I didn't want any adulation going to Arthur's head! Hey, I checked out your expanded website last night Duane ol' dude - not too shabby! Keep up the good work. Like me, just be careful around newbies and novices with the macho and "crazy" stuff. We aren't kamikazes like the Tsunami guys - veritable pigs for media attention and daring-do exploits. No, like some others on this list, we take touring sea kayaks and push the definition and parameters of our vessels, but essentially we should remain savvy seamen (and women) with a high regard and respect for the ocean and strive toward a professional mariner's respect for the capricious nature of the ocean. That may sound shallow coming from me, but it is what keeps macho type guys alive. Stay real dude, stay alive, and have fun!
