How about daydreaming about far away places we would all like to paddle. Then we could find out if anyone out there has any suggestions. I'll start with anyone who wants to suggest paddle trips along the north coast of the south island of New Zealand . Or trips around Stewart Island off the south end of the island. And just another short questions--where is Old Zealand?

I love being outdoors year-round, and in Northern California we are lucky to be able to do just that. My canoe club (POST in Oakland, California) takes one weekend trip every month. In the summer, we usually visit Sierra Nevada rivers, and in the winter, coastal streams fed by rainwater runoff. I'm glad I no longer have to be cooped up in the winter, as I was when I lived in Maryland and Michigan.

Big winds can nail you down for an extra day (or two) at times, but except for the six or seven days a year when there is serious ice on the water, one can paddle all year. More birds and pinnipeds to see in the winter, also. Sure wish someone would lay a tiny wood stove and compact wall tent on me for warmer/dryer tenting. Anybody do that? Around here, we paddle the Lower Columbia River (OR/WA) and Willapa Bay, WA. I have a crazy buddy who skins off to the Bahamas in December, though. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************

John, I am sure our friend who liked talking about s*******s would like to hear about this new (to me at least) stability product. Should we re-open this? -----Original Message----- From: John Winters <735769_at_ican.net> To: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net <paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net> Date: Friday, October 09, 1998 9:30 AM Subject: Re: [Paddlewise] Rest of the winter?
