And partly because it has high initial stability for gawking at things ... and an enormous amount of room for cargo. 'Round here we call it "the cargo barge," and it goes on all the long trips. Dan Hagen congratulated me once (a year ago or so) when I found a boat slower than the Wind Dancer ... the WD is pretty damn slow. I own a Sea Star, which is somewhat faster, and has almost as much room, but somebody else always grabs it. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** 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/ ***************************************************************************
