(Maybe it broke because it was too heavy and stiff???). ------------- It is my understanding that Chris's boat - a Romany Explorer - was damaged after he exited the boat coming in from the surf and the boat got pushed into some rocks. This was due to Chris's not exiting the boat fast enough and moving it up onto the beach. Doesn't sound like weight or stiffness had anything to do with the damage. This summer I, and others, will have the opportunity to hear about Chris's adventure when he talks at Atlantic Kayak Tour's Symposium in July. best wishes. sid *************************************************************************** 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 Apr 05 2000 - 06:37:58 PDT
