Re: [Paddlewise] Sponsons for fishing/kites

For those who miss Tim, he seems to be alive and well.  A letter to the
editor from him appeared in Atlantic Coastal Kayaker pushing his
sponsons.  The usual stuff.  It seemed much less strident than before
but I think any first time reader of his stuff would have considered it
shameless and overstated.  Me?  Having seen him at his worse, this
letter looked pretty tame, i.e. no one was accused of killing babies or
signing suicide pacts, etc.

But anyway, for those who engage in "Whatever happened to xxxxx?"
exercises, Tim is still out there.
