> I certainly did!!

George; Interesting that white water boat sits lower in NH than in OK, in trials picture. No skirt in NH, perhaps partially flooded for flotation demo? Any hoo, I wouldn't want to face 2' chop in that config. Bow, at least, and possibly stern awash... I was shocked to see that you had stolen* my two piece Chinese kayak paddles! Designed them for compact stowage for "lost paddle" emergency, and more flexibility in tight situations. Nice Flak Jacket, George, looks just like a PFD. TNX, Scotty *Problably not stolen, just remotely co-invented!
