>From a friend on Tybee Island. Maybe some Southeast USA regional member of Paddlewise can keep an eye out. Someone has stolen Anna's waveski from under her house. This is a very specialized and quite rare paddle board. It is very lightweight and made rubber coated foam material. Somebody grabbed it and threw it in the back of their truck, probably yesterday. Chances are it will appear on a regional Craigs list and advertised as a 'kayak'. It is not a kayak, it is a Waveski and is the same as the one pictured. http://savannahcanoeandkayak.blogspot.com/ Jim et al *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

Does anyone know of an online supplier of paddle-shaft joints ? I'm aware of the issue of different shaft (inner) diameters and I've done this before - but my local supplier has dried up. Really looking for a 'tighten' joint (allows angle & length adjustment), but might settle for a simple 6" inner (joiner) tube and an A-clip. These things seem to go under a million trade names and all the ones I have located tonight are part of a paddle line-up - and not for sale separately. I thought finding an online supplier would be easy!

CLC sells paddle joints (aka ferrules). http://www.clcboats.com/shop/products/boat-gear/kayak-paddles/kayak-paddle-f errule.html I've also made one for a Greenland paddle out of brass tubing (either 1 1/4 or 1 1/2 depending on the diameter of paddle shaft from Lowes plumbing department). I had to make mine since my loom was oval rather than round.

I'd really like to see a picture of that, Jim.

I think you are looking for a ferrule. I don't know of anybody selling adjustable ones, but Chesapeake Light Craft will sell you the standard push button type: http://www.clcboats.com/shop/products/boat-gear/kayak-paddles/kayak-paddle-fe rrule.html Mark G.

Wish I could come out for your birding event. We started putting "socks" out for the finches this year and they're all over them. Many golden finches. Two bald eagles are building a nest in the radio tower across the lake. They chose the 200-foot level platform next to the blinky lights. LOL. They raised at least one chick there last season. Hope you find the waveski and the body of the person who stole it.
