Well John, I just don't no the answer to that one. Guess you will have to 
figure that one out yourself. :-)

But I did get the biggest, genuine chuckle from Chuck's post  today where he 
said:

(snip) _"PFD strapped to the back deck (why the boat needs a PFD is not 
clear)" _  (snip)

The sarcasm dripped like a fine wine spilling down the bottle's neck, but 
well worth the pouring over. Another absolute gem for paddlewise. Loved it.
