Really like the idea of being able to walk to the river at the bottom of my street, carrying a small bag or two, setting up the boat and paddling down the river through the harbour and out to sea. With no petrol usage! Trying to emulate Ralph Diaz ideal of minimal use of hydrocarbon fuels, which I think is why he uses public transport. At the moment am also looking at the Kahuna to achieve this. At the moment have two boats Klepper and Pittarak - another boat on the dream list is a small plastic one for learning how to surf without spending lots of time with gelcoat to repair the damage! Mind at least one can repair fiberglass boats - A friend wound up on some oyster covered rocks in a plastic boat (linear polymer) and now has some sad scratches he wants to repair - does anyone know how to remove scratches from a linear polymer plastic boat? All the best, PeterO *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
