: Hey, Jerry

: If you build it, it can be repaired. I once wrecked a WD Lightning
: 17 by running it through a class 6 rapid - broke it into 11
: pieces, including breaking it in half and losing the entire
: cockpit section to the fast water. I rebuilt it successfully by
: replacing the missing pieces with newly crafted sections that I
: shaped from scraps. I did not end up with the most beautiful
: kayak as a rebuild but if you didn't know what you were looking
: at, you'd never know it was broken. I can't see the image you
: posted, at least not until I get home but it can be repaired
: quite well. I will take a look at your image when I get home
: this afternoon and let you know what I think you can do to make
: it better,

: Robert N Pruden

Thanks dude!

I will also try working on a better story. Maybe bears in the Apostle Islands...trying to escape, during an easterly storm, and getting shoved into the sea caves....I don't know. It's a start. I'll work on it.
