Thanks guys for your input.

Danny, I like that simple way of paddling in the pool. Has potential. Check out this fun picture of a fellow in a three piece take-apart kayak. Hmmm. (but he should turn the paddle around)

Tom, I checked on ergometers. I found a real fancy one on the internet. They have over in Europe dry-land races. The position of the virtual kayaks are shown on the screens. Speaking of fancy--- that’s a nice exercise room. But I like my SNS binding x-country skies better.

Marcel, Yes I also have Chris book. The rocker is 1 ½. Could be great for watching TV.

Rob, just don’t forget to bring spare dry clothes.

Again, thanks ---- Roland
