>>Everyone, Below is the text of the trip report from my 100 nautical mile paddle without landing or sleeping. Photos can be seen with the text at www.rollordrown.com/hm.html. Enjoy the misery! Duane Strosaker Southern California<< Duane, Thanks for the trip report; a nice relief from the misery on CNN. A couple of questions if I may: 1. I was surprised to hear a sore butt wasn't part of the misery. The long-range paddling I've done in the past was always accompanied by a very sore rear end. Did the carved minicell seat do the trick, or was there other strategies to alleviate what surly must have been some circulation impairment? 2. Did the custom skeg you modified into place help in the quartering rear seas as well as expected? I was wanting a bit of feedback on the modification now that you have had a chance to test yourself with the changes. 3. Did you suffer any ill effects within the next few days upon completion of the trip? Thanks again Duane. Most folks get tired after a 12nm paddle. Way to go! Duane is the man!
