Joy:  You don't remember my tale of having 16 kayaks on top of, and
inside(ten on top and six inside if anyone's curious) my 90 GL?  I
believe it was at Jim Fritz' Bus get together in Decorah back in the
fall of 2003.  Jim drove my van upstream so I could get in a quick 5
or 6 miles on the upper Iowa River in my whitewater boat. It was
fairly dark wen I got to the takeout and almost paddled past it, not
knowing exactly where it was.

Yes, I paddle both the canoe and the kayak and enjoy both
equally.  Whitewater, moving water, flatwater, enjoy it all.
