[Paddlewise] FW: What do you paddle?

BTW, you would not believe the reactions our boats get out here in
central California, where we recently moved from Florida. It seems as if
they have never seen a British boat out here. Everyone asks what kind of
boats they are. An experienced instructor recently looked at my boat and
asked, "Is that made in Florida? I've never heard of P&H." (But, I'll
cut her some slack - I think she can surf circles around me.) If only I
could fit into an Anas Acuta - now that would really draw a crowd!

When I was out in the Broken Group about five years ago, the only
British boat I saw was a Pintail, and that was owned by a fellow
who had bought it when he lived in Toronto. A few people asked if
my Sealution was a British kayak.

I think it would be fun to go to the Port Townsend symposium some
day and show people what you can do with a Greenland paddle and
a Romany.

BTW, I know a Brit who can't fit into most British kayaks.
