I guess I thought the message was to be read in anger because of the 3 exclamation points in the first line. Also you had 3 or 4 negative statements about the kayak following that. Eyelets as useful as tits on a hog... stupid tankwell... hatch screw up... screw it, I've got my ex... Then you ended with what seemed a sarcastic and smart closing. I read it as anger. Thats the problem with bulletin boards, chat rooms, and instant messaging. It is extremely hard to put personality or expression behind your words.
As for me and how I deal with water, blood, and mackeral jizz(?). I went to Wal-Mart and purchased the largest car washing sponge I could find. If you know the Drifter and most yaks, there is a cup holder normally between the legs. Now, I knew from the start I wasn't going to be able to paddle and keep a beer in that holder and it be fit to drink from. So I sqeeze my sponge together and place it in my holder. It stays in there nice and snug and out of the way. Whenever I get water in the footwells, I soak it up and wring it out. As for blood, I use a boga grip instead of a gaff. But if I do get hold of an oily bluefish that bleeds like crazy when hooked, the sponge cleans it up. And for mackeral jizz, well, when I experience that, I'll let you now how I handle it.
