Fortunately it slowed when the deck plate of the canoe hit then knocked over a concrete bird bath. The canoe has about 10 inches of plastic on it, fortunately that's where the impact was. kirk *************************************************************************** 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/ ***************************************************************************
