Thanks Jackie,

Most of us paddle for the sheer beauty out there in the marine (and other water)
environments.  That beauty includes the wildlife. I don't want to make a blanket
statement and say we kayakers are more in touch with and more sensitive to the
marine environment than motor boaters, but the nature of our vessels certainly
puts us in a more favorable position along those lines.  We don't want the beauty
to wane, so I think most of us will take efforts to preserve and respect our
paddling haunts.

Great ascii art!  That looks just like us!  Suitable for framing for sure.
