Mark said > Seems like Mike and Paul and I are the only ones here > who disagree with the idea of AGW Thanks Mark - I think your last post sums it up pretty well for me too. After my post, I decided I was a bit too new in the neighbourhood to raise a ruckus ;-) I'll try and stick to stuff I can back up with personal & hands-on experience - and save the religious debates for around campfires (no CO2 intended) and/or sessions with more beer to lubricate the debate. Big day tomorrow ! Driving a couple of hours to pick up a 10 year old Feathercraft K2 to give our home fleet a more mobile 'wing'. Was hoping to find a couple of single FC (that we could afford); but I only know of 8 FC in New Zealand - so they don't pop up for sale often. This was too good of a deal to pass up - and we have paddled without bloodshed in other doubles - so we will rein in our individualism and work on accentuating the pluses that a double can offer in unfamiliar & cold waters. It has spent most of its life on a Swedish yacht (before jumping ship here) and it's actually already been to both Glacier Bay and to New Caledonia - so hopefully it will remember what to do if we take it back...
