A color change (like, to a darker blue) might be alright, but the color contrast (vs black) is more pleasing and appealing visually. Brad

Welcome Nomad - from Homer. Hope to cross your path on the Swan Lake or Swanson River canoe trails - or in a kayak on the Kachemak Bay Water Trail. Brad

Doug, the check is in the mail. Brad
