Which half?  The choice a person makes in which half of a folding kayak
to take actually tells a lot about his/her personality.  Just like when
you replace a roll of toilet paper on to its spool (do you have the
paper set to be pulled from the top or the bottom?). :-)

I suspect you are aware of the big clubs' annual paddle down the entire
length of the Danube, which you can join at various points.  When NATO
was bombing all those bridges over the Danube last year, I thought a lot
about what would happen to that annual event as I know one of the
through paddlers who has paddled in it all the way to the sea.
