: Thanks Scott, I was amazed at how well it came back, and that took just a
: couple of hours to peel off the fiberglass, and one afternoon of sanding.
: Well, I forgot- also one morning of wiping down with acetone. Anyway, it
: came back quickly from the dead.

: The view off my porch is of the Caribbean from St. Thomas, VI. You can see
: Buck and Capella, which are great places to kayak and lie just a few miles
: offshore. Off in the distance is Frenchman's Cap, which is a tall peak
: sticking out of the water about 8 miles offshore, and is surrounded by
: tall cliffs. Great diving and spearfishing, but no place to beach a kayak.

Sigh! I'm at work and I can't see the images because Shutterfly is blocked. (#^*##(*^#@ No worries though. If things go right up here perhaps Linda and I will pop over and see it in person. Should know in a few days what we will be doing. Get that kayak ready for me, Malcolm.
