G"Day Dave, Doug and Paddlewise,

Thanks for the feedback on the Nordkaap, Avocet, Anas Acuta and Aquanaut and
sorry the reply is a bit late. I was down with a seasonal flu, not the swine
variety.

We were also impressed with he build quality of the boats (haven't seen the
Anas Acuta yet). Once I had sent Dave's link it looked as if the Anas Acuta
was becoming a front runner but on hearing Doug's description of the Nordkaap
and how it required the paddler to take care of themselves, Dee said "Thats
exactly what I need". Of course there's nothing like actually trying a boat
out in challenging conditions. But hearing the feedback was motivating and
interesting. Might even consider getting one of them myself! But then I'd have
to get rid of the Pittarak - sacrilege!

All the best, PeterO
