Awesome, Fernando.  Perhaps this is a new field opening up for you.  I would 
suggest that you contact the manufacturer's and let them know what you are 
doing and ask for any other advice/info/suggestions for what you are doing.

Some of you may remember how I took a disabled paddler in the Old Town Canoe 
Dimension Solo sot...it had a contoured seat and gave him enough back/leg 
support to paddle solo...plus it is quite beamy and stable.

since he lives nearly two hours away and i don't have the time to take him 
out regularly i donated the boat to Shake-A-Leg in Miami (they have lots of 
boats - sail etc. for disabled paddlers).  

I spoke to them this week and was told that he takes two buses and a train 
(or something like that) but is able to get there under his own steam, 
paddle, and then go home again.  How's that for independence?

So, Fernando, i see this as a good omen.

sandy kramer who is going to caracas tomorrow..back on the 14th..but can 
still access email from my niece's house.
