But really, why sell all of a sudden? She has a nice portfolio of sea kayaks - she's well diversified. Just cause there's a bit of a storm doesn't mean it's time to bail if you have high quality assets. :-) DL On Fri, Oct 3, 2008 at 12:12 AM, Doug Lloyd <douglloyd_at_shaw.ca> wrote: Pam, you are sell'n a bunch of your boats. So is it you that's having the liquidity crisis? :-) I think Pam's "liquidity crisis" comes from not being able to get all those boats into liquid; she can only do one at a time. <grin> Craig *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

The Sprite, once the centerpiece of her living room, has been relegated to the basement and replaced by the new Express. So perhaps she's running out of basement room. She can't sell the Ice Kap because that's where the cat sits and where I rest my feet and tea cup when I visit. I'm not sure what we (the cat and I) would do without it, actually. The Pygmy, arguably, would make a better living room piece than the Express... all that varnished mahogany and chines. But the Express, is (at least in my opinion... not the cat's) the most beautiful of all kayaks; slender, poised, well appointed; I can understand how it might displace the Sprite (which could be described as somewhat frumpy)... I guess. There is only so much space in any well-appointed living room for kayaks, after all. And, as a hedge against an economic meltdown her portfolio is somewhat lacking. Unlike me, Pam is almost fully invested in low volume boats. Even a small person would find it difficult to live comfortably in any of them (except the old, decrepit, white kayak of unknown ancestry). Unlike my Escape which offers room for a sleeping mat and a tiny galley (I'm considering an LED reading lamp), her boats offer little more than performance and tight fit. Perhaps she needs the money to buy a nice cabin cruiser. :) Craig *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
