Fellow Paddlewisers, Got a treat in the mail this morning -- 14,000.00 British Pounds from a long lost Aunt in England. Now I can buy any boat I want, hand-laid or vacume bagged, or BOTH! Hey, I can even get an SUV or a van, or a GEO, or ALL - well, maybe not that much. Just thought I'd share some good news. My 'ol Nordkapp has a bit of a sad face this morning!

What I want to know is what he does to it after he gets it (whatever it is) Bob *************************************************************************** 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/ ***************************************************************************
