>> My example of the symposium was typical of this sport's focus. Lots of rescues and nothing on avoiding the need for rescues. Not one session on weather prediction. Not one session on risk assessment. Not one session on group decision making. Not one session on personal skills evaluation. But if you want to learn to roll, we got lots. <snip> Cheers, John Winters Redwing Designs Specialists in Human Powered Watercraft http://home.ican.net/~735769/ >> ************************************************************************** * John, have you considered teaching any of these sessions yourself at, say, the Great Lakes Sea Kayak Symposium at the end of July? I see that your brother will be there again. I always enjoy his presentations, and it would be fun to meet you, too.

Travel is expensive and they don't pay unless one is a big name which I am not. Also, no one has ever asked me and maybe for good reason.
