Cool. >> I needed a new all neo spray skirt for my Nordkapp Jubilee and decided to experiment with a Bushsport.<< I think it is almost identical to the Phoenix. Great products, eh. >>I use a snapdragon on my WW boat. This summer I was pinned in a hole and while I waited for the current to grab my paddle and take me out, I couldn't help but notice how the sides of my spray skirt were pulsing open in the hydraulic and my boat taking on water. << You were cognitive of your pulsating skirt rhythms while pinned in a hole? Dude, can I go paddling with you sometime? Bet you didn't even elevate your heart beat. Way cool. I dig that attitude. Kind of like the movie I just finished watching - an UK sleeper, "Dog Soldiers." In the movie, a soldier's company of fellow men has almost all been eaten by Werewolves in the Scottish Highlands. One is about to kill and eat him too. He punches a tooth out of the beast, then without blinking an eye, tells the Werewolf that he hopes he gives it the runs just as he is about to be devoured. That's presence of mind. That's going down fighting. Unflinching. Never giving up. Love it. >>Where is the rain?<< In a different form, all falling back east.
