I just finished a 4 day intermediate course _at_ Deception Pass in Washington
where we *played* in 5.1 knot currents with clients in new shiny boats
bumping into granite and barnicals.  Everyone of 'em had a handful of new
scratches and gouges by the end of the trip.  It comes with the territory.
Funny thing is they were ALL  proud of the scratches and the one fellow who
really dinged his Caribou (needing Marine tex repair) was the coolest!

Scratches mean you're using it!
