Jolie said(snip): >Watch it, there Tony! You're sounding pretty sexist!...I also have a weakness for men paddling British heavies. If I see one on the water, I tend to follow. Is this attaching?< Jolie, c'mon, tell the truth. Men follow you in _your_ British heavy. :-) Kidding aside (well, sort of), my first test before dating my wife seriously, was to see if she could lift one end of my British heavy. Helps to have one's priorities straight in life.

>>CONGRATULATIONS! So, what brand and model kayak will the baby be paddling?<< John replied: >Believe or not I've been thinking about building a kid size skin-on-frame. I've got a 7 and 4 year old niece that are interested in kayaking as well.< John, I hope you made Eli a cedar stripper cradle. No? Tisk tisk. SOF cradle, maybe? Oh well. I've seen some fairly radical cradles over the years, including a commissioned piece by one of Victoria's top boat builders. My kids? They got Cherry, of course, but nothing radical in design. Congrats John!
