Re: [Paddlewise] Kayak For A Cure| Victoria and Vancouver

Thanks Craig.

There were four paddlers on the Victoria event this morning with no dollars 
beside their names, so I donated $25.00 a piece myself online, which will 
bring the organizer's goal of $10,000.00 to that mark (was $9,9000.00 this 
morning). Perhaps good karma for me: I got a call this afternoon from Doug 
Alderson (bought his S&G a while back), he had a 1984 Nordkapp HM in awesome 
shape with the stern cut off for a rudder. So I bought if for $900.00, but 
on the PAYPP (pay as you paddle plan). I'll have a working, light Nordkapp 
for the cancer-cure event Sunday. A better temporary boat for me than the 
S&G. I now have eight kayak in the yard.

I am also taking the Atlantis Spartan VI prototype out for a day to test and 
give feedback this weekend.

Thanks for your support Craig.
