    Regarding the tarps, I have ordered my new ones from Tamerack outdoors. They just e mailed me to say they are expecting a delivery of superlights this week and will send out my order as soon as they get them in.

    It just so happens I might be able to help you. Got one off Pete to use for fishing last year. Found it had too many pockets for my needs, so I will bring it along.
