Sheltered Waters is a nonprofit group set up to answer the need for a clearing house for "too heavy" and underused British kayaks. Finally the atrocities can be compassionately ended, no more strained backs, pulled muscles or kayak littered garages. All those aging and dusty British boats, too heavy to be transported to the water by their hernia suffering owners can finally be with others of their kind. Men and women alike can save their marriages by sending us the foolish craft that your spouse obsesses over but is unable to lift. Health Insurance discounts may be available with the elimination of this heavy lifting health risk. Boats will be cared for in carefully chosen foster homes. The prospective foster owners will have to prove their strength prior to qualification. Only the most skilled and hard-core "young bucks" will be considered. Prior to placement the boats will be used to teach little children various kayak skills like loading and unloading from the car. This should afford us "Tax Exempt"status and mean that you could write-off the value of your donated boat. Any and all British boats are eligible with Nordkapps, Explorers, Romany's being the easiest to place in foster garages. Please forward questions and donation information to our web site _at_ http://www.americanunionofvacuumbaggers.com Jed (If I lived near warmer waters.....) *************************************************************************** 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/ ***************************************************************************
