Everything I used to bore people on newsgroups and mailing lists with, now in one inconvenient place.
Today I said goodbye to my Valley Canoe Products Skerray RMX, and said hello to my Necky Looksha II. I’m going to miss the Skerray, since it was a great boat and I had a lot of fun in it, but I’m looking forward to mastering this extremely light and fast boat.

I’ve accepted a down payment on the Skerray, which means I need to get in touch with Frank as soon as he’s back in town to buy the Looksha. I’m going to miss the old boat, because it was everything I needed from a kayak except fast. I’d also better get back to finishing the Arctic Tern so I have something for casual paddling.
In less exciting news, I turned down the job offer from Paychex because they would only give me 2 weeks paid vacation.
I know it’s the wrong time of the year, but I really want that Looksha, so I’m selling my good old Skerray.

You know, I love that boat. It’s been really good for me. But I’ve out grown it.
