I don't think this went to Paddlewise. At least I didn't get a "reply to
all" lnk on it. It's ok though, I'm taking care of that little detail.
<grin>

How unfair! I don't even have one kayak for each day of the week! Unless you

This is a kayak that even Matt Broze couldn't identify.

He can always use it to chop wood if global warming doesn't pan out.

Three Mariner kayaks is the bare minimum to meet the necessities of
paddling. You should know: you own two yourself. Just think... if you had
been in a Coaster you might have made it out at Lookout. :D

I keep discovering paddles in closets all over the house. I think you've
planted them.

I'm not going to paddle any place that's named after someone yelling,
