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! steve *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
