Mine slips into the water with barely a ripple, and with the oars moving gently and effortlessly, pulls away smoothly as a swan swimming, with a soft sibilant hiss as the bow slices through the water. It is indeed a truly uplifting and educational experience, especially for those whose tenders go "plonk" and "splurt". -- Flying Tadpole ------------------------- Faint echoes, sometimes inaudible, of the newsgroup's glorious past are downloadable at http://music.download.com/internetopera |

How's about 58 F with the wind blowing out of the NW at 20 mph at the lake at 3:30 pm? And it's supposed to go down to below 40 F there tonight, so we came right back home...there were whitecaps on Muskegon Lake and the idea of spending the night on the hook with no heater just didn't seem like a fun thing...Maybe it will turn summertime tomorrow (miraculously...) Too bad we can't swap some of that weather. Seahag |
