[Paddlewise] Boat recommendations

I'm catching a plane out to British Columbia in a couple of days, and 
will be emailless for the two weeks that I'll be out there. So I 
thought I should take this opportunity before I go to thank everyone 
who has responded to my request for suggestions for the new kayak that 
I hope to find.

I was touched by Pam's offer to borrow her Mariner for a paddle if I 
could make my way down near her. She doesn't know me from Adam 
(although my name isn't Adam), and for all she knows, I could be an 
axe murderer. I could say that I am not an axe murderer, but then, 
what else would I say?

Sadly, I will not have time to visit her (and my passport expired a 
while ago and I've been procrastinating its replacement), so I 
couldn't visit in any case.

Several people responded with suggestions, all of which are 
appreciated. I have added several boats to my list of prospective 
boats as a result of input from Paddlewise members.

Again, thanks to the kayaking community here for sharing your 
knowledge and opinions.

All the best to all,
-- 
   Darryl (not an axe murderer, really!)
