That's "muthah-shipping". <grin>

Thanks for your thoughts on this issue. It's always fun to get in on one of
these debates (or help start one) because the ideas are always interesting.

As to why the Mariners are being sold, I didn't ask. At least one of the
Mariners has some repair issues (bow). Sometimes people just give up aspects
of paddling for personal reasons. Sometimes they move on; having been
seduced into something new. I didn't dare contact the seller. I'm not
allowed to buy any more kayaks. I'm pretty sure she's bought a gun.
