Michael said in response to Melissa "soul sister" Reese: <<<< Hey - Voyageur, makers of flotation bags and waterproof stuff sacks and gear for canoes and kayaks are now selling sponsons! Watch out uncle timmy, you've got competition. Mike >>>> From: "Melissa Reese" <melissa_at_bonnyweeboaty.net> > PS: Long live Sp****ns! (oops!) -------------- Hey guys n' gals, I just read an article about a fellow who spent a few months drifting at sea in a raft a few years ago. In his spare time he designed the ultimate life raft as a way of passing the time between eating Seagulls (or whatever he ate). Having survived his ordeal, he set about bringing his folding dream-raft into reality. It is finally in production. It can sail, be rowed, and handles rough seas with impunity -- due to its freeboard. And what gives it such desirable characteristics? Yep, sp****ns! That's right, timmy's vision for the future salvation of mankind (well, at least mariners in distress) is a reality in the rescue-raft field. He might have the last laugh here. I wonder if he even knows about the new design. As for months at sea, I'd be dreaming about brunettes, not inflatable devices.
