> Screw the sponsons. Work on cloning manatees and use them as a flotation aid. > Probably not a good idea..... I know one prominent Paddlewiser who was thrown a foot or two in the air by a manatee. Her BOAT landed safely right side up. Another well-known Paddlewiser, out paddling with her dog, was overturned by a manatee. This person still swears that a huge alligator did it. Yet another snow-bird Paddlewiser ran into a small shark. It scared him so that he fell out of the BOAT, got stuck in the mud and had to be pulled out by one of our Florida heroes. I am sure that corrections to my remarks are forthcoming and will blow the sponsons off the air. If not, I'll start telling spider in kayak stories.
