Incredible catch Barbara, you know this was refurbished here on Whidbey Island. I went down to south Whidbey for the 1st launch, and it was a sight to see, as they lowered her down this long ramp the ropes broke loose and she went down way to fast and ended up nose first in the sand. Needless to say she needed more repairs before she could paddle out on her own... FYI...   Akemi
