Basically allows you to easily manage the size of the bungie loop? As for your generous offer to purchase and mail some olive cleats - by the time the freight from Australia to Alaska was calculated in I think they'd be about $10.00 US apiece!! Thanks, but I'll just have to wait to see an olive cleat in the flesh when I take a trip to New Zealand or Australia. Good Paddling!

"Basically allows you to easily manage the size of the bungie loop?" Right again. What a great game email charades is. But don't ask me what a numbat looks like, my powers of description are exhausted.
