| A note for Flex owners: I have always been leery of the stern leash setup with the bung at the back of the boat. Somewhere in the adventure, the bung was pulled out of the boat. Maybe the leash wraped around it? Fortunately, it self righted and didn't take on enough water to sink. It rolled over a couple of times on the tow back to the plywood plant when I went too fast, but I got to it and rolled it upright again. There was so much water in it that I could not pick it up at the beach. | A note for Flex owners: I have always been leery of the stern leash setup with the bung at the back of the boat.

| - | Well, I'm just so happy that Dan is ok, that I've refrained from making any of my usual smart-a** comments. However, Paul, finding Dan's waterlogged boat on the Delta, on a cold, foggy morning and towning it all the way back to town...If there was ever a case of one dude owing another dude a beer or twenty, this is it! | + | Well, I'm just so happy that Dan is ok, that I've refrained from making any of my usual smart-a comments.

| + | Paul hella mission, can’t thank you enough now I’m back up to two boats. Like I said before maybe I should put my name in it. I did talk to Dan last night and you almost have to hear the whole episode in person. I’m sure he’ll write it up, but I don’t know if that can do it all justice. Maybe he could post a video dissertation on whatcom Paddlers. After all, it was an extension of a down winter winder and we post videos of downwind Wave riding all the time this would just add a little or a lot . | ||

| I forgot this part most interesting. It was the huge logs and debris that he encountered, which made it unbelievable to survive. | I forgot this part most interesting. It was the huge logs and debris that he encountered, which made it unbelievable to survive. | ||
