Kevlar...you mean like helicopter blades?

Cool - any chance you *know the name of the manufacturer?

Sorry, I was not that interested although the boat said Seminole on

Bainbridge, GA

Oh, and a younger passenger of his was talking very knowledgeably (at

What was also striking was how polite these guys were compared to the
