Notice the dry suit. Weather was 50-55 and raining most of the trip(except for the last day when Andy and I were too sick to paddle) The day before that pic was taken, we had paddled in fuzzyrubbers, and I got seriously hypothermic, worst I've ever been. By the way, Eli really is the world's best open boater. Dale

Dale, how did you like the Prelude?

I thought the prelude was fun. Not any initial stability, but lost of 2nd and 3rd, very responsive, dry. Wasn't used to paddling with bulkhead rather than straps, however. I didn't give the Spanish Fly a good trial, since I couldn't get all the way down in the one I paddled, but it seemed more stable than the Prelude. Andy paddled the Fly a lot, and really liked it, although it was a bit wet. Dale

Yeah, Dale, I noticed that you seemed "overly" dressed from what I had heard about weather down there. A bit out of the ordinary, was it?

Now, when I see you and Andy, I will think of the PP's! Or the Paddling Physicians!!

Like I said, putting that on the TODO list!

Maybe I can provide a bit of video

Apparentally not

You did'nt give up on that video footage did you.

Dale - for posting video, try downloading Picasa http://www.google.com/intl/en/options/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; from this page (all kinds of other goodies there too).

Once you get it installed, you should find a "Post to Youtube" button or something like that. It makes the whole process much easier. Plus Picasa is the best program for organizing your pictures and videos, and you can easily post them both to picassa.com or youtube, all free.

Thanks Dale, I've got a Prelude but don't paddle it. Even though it's got tons of secondary stability, I got tired of having ZERO initial stability. Still I can't bring myself to sell it cause I think I might like it better when I get lighter.

Rob, That link didn't work for me ??? I'll search myself, but your guidance is much appreciated!!!

You're right Steve, that link didn't work, sorry about that. This one does work: http://www.google.com/intl/en/options/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Here is a direct link to Picasa: http://picasa.google.com/intl/en/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Ok, I have the video made, opened Youtube account, but having problem with 1. Everything seems to be in French, and 2. Can't successfully download the video. Any suggestions? Dale

Okay, think we figured it out. You can see the video by clicking on this link:

Give it up for Dale!!!

No, give it up to Shelle. I got everthing uploaded to Youtube and facebook, but could not get anything to ACC Website. Shelle did all that. Jesus, I hate not knowing how to do computers. Dale
