About a year ago I saw a post in rec.boats.paddle about this. One whitewater paddler carries spare clothes in a bag. But it's "The ugly suit" The suit is something like lemon yellow pants, a plaid sport jacket, and a pink sweater. If someone needs to wear "the ugly suit" they always make a bar stop on the way back to pick up the shuttle. The person wearing "the ugly suit" is required to join the others in the bar. The owner of "The ugly suit" found people only needed to borrow it once before bringing their own gear. Admittedly this works better for whitewater than on an overnight trip sea kayak trip. Although 100% wool clothing might do the trick on an overnight. 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/ ***************************************************************************Received on Mon May 08 2000 - 06:39:04 PDT
