Re: [Paddlewise] NDK layups...

I dropped mine on two occasions, fully loaded with a couple of days of
water, food, tents etc. I had slipped on algae-covered rocks.  No harm done
to the boats.  We lowered fully loaded boats down from the deck, sometimes
boats banging onto the side of the ship... no harm done.  And yes, surfing
into cobblestone beaches... all Amazing punishment.  This boat is a tank!
