Re: [Paddlewise] Guide Training (long winded)

Greetings,

Very well stated Wayne.  I was a full time guide in Maine from '87 to '92 and
I continue to work full time in the industry today.  I agree wholeheartedly
with you that it is much easier to teach boat handling skills than "Guide
-Sense".  I still know a number of highly skilled paddlers that are not very
suitable as trip leaders because of their inability to relate to their
clients.

Thanks for the well written post.  I hope you are having a great season down
there.

Sincerely:

Rob Cookson
