In Well, I was also sort of thinking about mothership type operations. (An aside -- I only see WaveLength on line, and it sure seems like they've embraced that concept with wide open arms.) Anyway, I was thinking about relativly inexperienced tour types might have a real handful entering/leaving a kayak from the high sides of a larger mothership, and trying to figure some way around it. Actually, in that environment, it seems kind of like a cool idea. Ahhhh, let's be honest. I was also dreaming about what would have happened if I'd hit that quarter billion dollar lotto a couple months ago . . . got one number one week, though. -- Wes *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced/forwarded outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: PaddleWise_at_PaddleWise.net Subscriptions: PaddleWise-request_at_PaddleWise.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Fri Jul 21 2000 - 18:20:23 PDT
