Hi Pete.

Thanks for the mail, but a shame you cannot make our party.

Yes they were great sunny days, great boating with you Deb and Dan.

One memorable paddle in the Ubaye Gorge in the company of Giani, Gianlucca, when your deck blew on a 4+ rapid. I remember you were a little p!~#**d off at the time.

See you some time.

Regards.

Stuart
