On a lighter note, Spray skirts to ward off body parts and blood entering the Kayak, PLEEEEEEEEASE. I think Ill stick with the Idea that the northern kayakers just had good plain common sense, and had more then just a clue about how to keep a kayak from sinking. "Cold water in kayak bad, dry bum in kayak, good." "Sinking Kayak full of freezing sea water, bad" "Sealed spray skirted kayak, good" "Long narrow paddle easy to paddle long distance, good" "Heavy wide paddle, make you tired, bad" I think the old priest got a little cabin fever, had to much sacrificial wine lying around. I can just see the natives rolling on the floor of there homes telling each other the stories the big funny looking man in big black dress and pointy hat believed today. :-) -- Perry Chamberlain Kato_at_qnet.com Liv'n on de Edge n de Desert Everyone has someone in their family who is crazy, if you don't know who it is, its you! *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
