Re: [Paddlewise] Kayak Problems

Sorry Peter,

That "awful" comment was totally tongue in cheek as was Doug Lloyds cheeky 
remark about NDK.  It's part of that weird Canadian humour (humor for my 
American cousins) thing.  Personally I think the Valley boats are pretty 
darn good lawn ornaments.  They beat a rusty car any day. Just ask any 
kayaker living in Langford. ;-) Oh, they're all right to paddle as well.
