I know this to be true because I almost strayed myself. I was seduced by the sexy lines and sensual advertising of the Current Designs Extreme. I almost strayed, lusting after that fast little trick. Praise be to our Lord, I saw the light in time, and bought a non ruddered kayak that is even faster! And it carries more gear, too. Mike, who paddles with the ruddered heathen all the time. :-) -------- Paddling along through fog so thick that only one's thoughts are visible, your reverie is abruptly shattered by the ancient cry of a great blue heron as she lifts uncertainly from the brilliant blue of a mussel-shell beach witnessed only by the brooding, wet spruce....your passage home seems as much back through time as it does through space.
