So here is another survey question: >How many of you are kayaking couples, and were you paddlers >before you met? > My wife Mike (yes, female; name is short for Michael -- her parents expected a boy) and I are a kayaking couple, but were a couple for a long time (more than 30 years) before either of us paddled a stroke. But we bought a house that backs up to the Chattahoochee River here in Atlanta, GA, USA, and I resurrected a dream from boyhood -- I saw kayakers on a small river in Germany when I was in my early teens, and wanted to do that, too. We are one of those disgustingly close couples who would prefer to spend almost all our time together, so we took a weekend course in sea kayaking and started looking for boats. We've rented a few times, but now I have my boat and day after tomorrow she will have hers and next weekend we will paddle the Chattahoochee together. Ron p.s. I sent this to Chuck instead of to the list because I can't seem to get the hang of that Reply button. I have some trouble programming my VCR, too. 8^) -------------------------------- Ron Johnson |The Tao is nowhere to be found. rfred_at_mindspring.com |Yet it nourishes and completes all things. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net ***************************************************************************Received on Thu Feb 19 1998 - 13:48:38 PST
