[alberg30] towing canoes

[sunstone]

Dear SandersM at aol.com:

Pierre Berton once said that "the definition of a Canadian is a person
who knows how to make love in a canoe."  Beyond that they are great for
camping, white water rafting, and portaging.   As a tender for a boat
the only thing more likely to dump you in the water is trying to balance
yourself on a football climbing on and off your boat.   A little hard on
the Nikon or Cannon.

Hey it's a free country,  but I'll stick to my beamy pram tender thanks.

Just sign me a Canadian or eh Canadian if you prefer.

Fair winds and good drying conditions,

John Birch, Sunstone KC-65
