subject: [Paddlewise] Just ordered a Long Haul Quattro.

Pretty much got the works. After 40 years of paddling my old Folbot Double
and 15 years of  being discouraged by the ever increasing price of the
Kleppers, Mark Ekhart's reputation and prices won out. everything I have
every read about Mark, his work and his new Long Haul are allowed me to
order with confidence.

The best part was the fact that my wife was actually bugging me to go ahead
and make the order, but my and Mark's schedules never seemed to coincide.

I'm a big guy. Not as big as Reubin, but a big fellow, nevertheless. If this
quattro doesn't fill the bill, nothing will.

We'll be trying her out in the Poconos when she arrives in  a couple of
weeks and then it's off to Maine in August for some real fun.
