I read about a liquid that one covers a kayak with to prevent deterioration from UV rays and the elements in general. Is this necessary? Also, I'm trying to find information on the Chesapeake Paddlers Association. I found a couple of web pages but they don't look like they've been updated in a while. I'm looking for membership information, club schedule, dues information, etc. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks, Donna -- ************************ D.R. Ferron Photography D.R.

The CPA webpages haven't been updated in a while - other priorities have intruded on the person maintaining the page, but generally, the schedule, newsletters, etc are just slightly out of date. Membership information on the web page is correct (http://www.abs.net/~gregh/kayaking/), and the membership is still $10 per year. Further information: THE CHESAPEAKE PADDLERS ASSOCIATION Sea Kayaking in the Chesapeake Bay Area WHO ARE WE? The Chesapeake Paddlers Association is an informal network of paddlers who enjoy the sport of sea kayaking. Our interests are as diverse as our 300+ members. For some, the lure of sea kayaking is the opportunity to experience the natural beauty of the Chesapeake Bay. For others, it is an opportunity to explore the hundreds of miles of river, bay, and ocean coastline which lie within Maryland, Virginia, and Delaware. Most of our members are novices, with a large number of intermediate paddlers and a small, growing group of advanced paddlers. Regardless of your skill level, you will find others to share in your kayaking interests. We even have kayakers from other regions who participate when possible in our trips and share experiences from their local paddling. WHAT DO WE DO? The Chesapeake Paddlers Association provides a way for those interested in sea kayaking to meet, socialize and paddle together. During the spring, summer and fall months we produce a monthly newsletter which provides information on our activities. Many of these activities are day trips on different areas of the bay. The trips are geared toward the different experience levels of the members. Other activities include weekend campouts, free safety and instructional clinics, weekly evening trips, and kayak support at charity swims, such as the annual Bay Bridge swim.

Otherwise, pricey. For the CPA, e-mail Greg Welker at <gwelker_at_erols.com> and he'll sign you up.

There is a monthly newsletter (roughly April-November), various and sundry paddles, and we all convene in Annapolis on the South River to paddle and practice rescues and rolls and things and cook out on the dock on Wednesdays after work. Other folks convene on the Patuxent at Solomons on Thursdays, and others on the Potomac south of D.C. generally in Virginia on Tuesdays. There is also a CPAKayaker listserv which is affiliated with CPA, you can subscribe by sending "subscribe CPAKayaker" to majordomo_at_lists.shire.net. It's not quite as prolific as Paddlewise, and a good way to hook up with local paddlers. Oh, and I see that Greg Welker has also just replied to your request. Well, a lot of us are on Paddlewise, so perhaps you'll get more info than you ever wanted about CPA!
