The following little gem came from one of my librarian friends, now happily
retired on Cape Cod (Massachusetts).  While we're on the topic of older
paddlers, I thought I'd add this comment.  Wonder if these ladies are on any
of those wonderful New Zealand trip reports I've just been perusing (thanks
for the URL, Doug).
