We are trying to have some serious kayak discussions here, but you keep digressing from the main topic. Steady as she goes, matey. Brad... I (for one) welcome your attempts to keep this forum on an even keel. Far too many serious threads have deteriorated lately. Paddlers should think first and compost later. Craig Jungers Seriously serious in Moses Lake, WA Craig/Brad Sorry Craig, you especially should know only Matt n' his Mariners can keep an even keel in any type of serious seaway. Speaking of those Mariners, have they ever played against the Gators? I don't follow American sports much so don't know, even though Brad thinks I know something about those Gators. As for composting, guess my decomposing composition lately seems to have given you some recomposition paronomasia possibilities (no Brad, that's not some malevolent French elixir). Absinthe is. An ancient French drink reported to bring folks to the edge of reason - before it was banned in France. Must be the decomposing ingredient wormwood. I drink it all the time. See, it's not a decompensation of mental stability due to anything psychiatrically intrinsic. But what's your excuse? :-) I do hope you both realize the only real decomposition happening in the field of sea kayaking is Harvey's fleet of SOFs, though Harvey has done an amazing job of documenting many somewhat decomposed kayak specimens. At least his work will last long after my kid's kids' great grandchildren are tootling around above the skin of the ocean in anti-gravity school buses exploring new shorelines at the foot of the Rockies for field trips. So, happy Eater to all you decomposing old f_at_rt$, of which I am one now. Remember, old paddlers never die, they just smell that way. Heck, even young paddlers smell that way if they don't paddle in Icebreaker base layers.
