Beautiful Miguel. Just beautiful!

Beautiful my friend! Wish I could paddle it right now.

Nice work! I love the lifetime warranty!

Sorry Chip I kind of went off subject.

I have found tripping to be an excellent opposite sex relationship test. I've had two long trips end relationships and one that created a bond that has lasted 20 years. The first trip my fiance insisted on coming on a multi week trip North of the Churchill in Saskatchewan. My closest childhood...

Can't wait!!!
