G'Day,

Well I don't know whats happening to my wordprocessor but the missing
sentence was: -

"From the news clip the kayak looked like a TK1, which is a "tippy" racing
sit in river kayak, but I'm not sure. "

What do you think Peter (Rattenbury) did it look like a TK1 to you? It had a
rounded hull and I could imagine a grazing shark might have twisted it as
reported. By the way the kayaker said the shark felt slimy. I thought sharks
had rough abrasive skins which raised scratches. Guess it depends on the
shark. Then again it was the Parramatta river, slime wouldn't be too
suprising :~)

All the best, PeterO
