Eric,

What do you mean a brand new hybrid baidarka? I haven't finished building the "old" style baidarka yet. And I didn't even know it was "old" till now.

Ross is right about rubbing it in!! You guys go, have fun, I'll keep shovelling snow and telling myself the shovelling is getting me in shape for paddling.

Have fun, be safe!

Ken
