Keith..I'm Steve with a 16'er (gismo)and I went on the Santa Barbara trip in Oct. The fokes talked about you and compared our boats. I guess you were in Europe. One of these days C-pup and gizmo will hook up. I wish I was closer I'd go on this one too. I live at Lake Tahoe and have made plans for Thursday. How about planning a trip to Lake Powell in the spring? Or, a trip to Ketchan in Aug? I am really impressed with a picture of c-pup, a big wave and a large boat crashing through the wave that is posted in your photos. Where could I get a copy? Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving. Hope to meet up with you sooner than later.
