Lead Thrower, that's a generous offer and one of these days (when I'm confident I won't embarrass myself) I'll give you a shout and we'll hit the Sky.

I've been down the Sultan to Ben Howard stretch a couple dozen times, and done a little rowing myself in a buddy's drifter to make sure I like the idea. That's the only place I'll take the boat to start, and I won't run anything else without someone in the boat that's been there. I do eventually want to do something from up above (High Bridge...?) down to Sultan.

I'm not a gambler.....I won't even risk $2 on the lottery.
