I made a tow rope system based on the Salamander two line (45' and 15') with a couple of changes based on the list discussion some time back. The bags are independent and are velcroed on the belt to work as a throw bag, the belt is much heavier duty, the rope is thinner making the bags less bulky, I could choose the colors, and it cost less than 20.00 US. It is very simple to lash bungie on to the cord to provide the shock value, if you have any questions how, write me and I will send a digital image. -- : : Gabriel L Romeu : http://studiofurniture.com furniture from the workshop : http://members.xoom.com/gabrielR life as a tourist, daily journal : http://users.aol.com/romeugp paintings, photographs, etchings, objects *************************************************************************** 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 Wed Feb 23 2000 - 15:32:32 PST
