                                  It took me about 10 min to download, upload 
                                  and post all of our pics onto the blog.

                                  your online magazine might be interested in 
                                  a boat 
                                  I've built. It is a ten foot kayak made from 
                                  PVC and tarp.

                                  drove up yesterday and attended the Lost Coast 
                                  chapter's Noyo 
                                  River Row at Albion, California. Winds were 
                                  light, the river low and seagrass plentiful, 
                                  so everyone but the guys in the Faering rowed 
                                  -- they managed to sail up and back, quite a 
                                  feat! 
                                Most of the boats were Whitehall 
                                  or dory designs. The green dory skiff appears 
                                  to be a modification of the Chamberlain dory 
                                  skiff, done in ply with a wider bottom.

                                  couple seasons back one of New England's kayaking 
                                  clubs organized radar tests with a Massachusetts 
                                  Coast Guard search and rescue station.  
                                It was a miserable wet day with torrential 
                                  rains. 
                                The results of the radar tests were equally 
                                  miserable: watchstanders reported they were 
                                  unable to distinguish kayakers radar screen

                                  and chaff. It was a sobering visit.

                                I've suggested 
                                  that this 
                                  guy should write a report for Duckworks, and 
                                  I think he may well do so.

                                  few years I have collected zillions of kayak 
                                  related URLs. They tend often to be hard 
                                  to categorize. I am now using an online service 
                                  called https://del.icio.us to help out.
