OK, I surrender Peter!

I promise I'll try every non-"tub"-like kayak I can lay my hands on, get
my bum into, and see each end of in one look - no matter what it's made
out of, whether it's space age new or steam gauge ancient, and regardless
of if it has a windscreen heater and reverse gear or not. I agree to
suppress all temptation to preconceived ideas of what will float, and I'll
even consider renting out my brick built home and living in a dormakayak
for 6 months ... (or maybe I won't) ....

Thanks for your further thoughts and good advice ;-)
