I'm a newbie to this list as well as paddling , haven't even gotten a
paddle wet yet :(  
	I am enjoying the list though and plan on searching out some
local shops for kayaking lessons next month.
	My question is this: How often is the average paddler on this
list able to get onto the water? Once a week, a couple of times a month,
every day(for those fortunate to live on or near the water)?
	I was just wondering......
				Thanks

Under normal circumstances twice a month; but this month I've had
bad luck with the weather and work.   If I lived closer to the
water, and wasn't married, I would probably do better!

It happens that here the ice is leaving from the sea somewhere 
in April.  It comes in November, and seems to cover the sun also, up 
until this beautiful March sunshine. BESIDES ranting here and being a 
real nuisance to others I am kayaking something between two, three to 
seven days/week.  Depends on the ice and holidays, you know :-)	
very difficult to estimate.

Very nice to have new folks here - good luck for you, if you already 
have caught the fever...


	
Cheers,

Six days a week -- I live about a mile from the Brandywine, and barring
things like T-storms and ice, I'm out there training as often as possible.
If I'm not there, then I'm running a river or racing (which is kinda
the point of all the training ;-) ).

I get out every saturday and sunday for at least a few hours and will 
start paddling after work when daylight savings arrives.
