Re: [Paddlewise] Greenland ACA endorsement

One of the members of our local paddling club is active at
the national ACA level.  She has been prodding my wife and
me for what we would like to see included in the endorsement.
As somewhat newbie paddlers we are definitly the best source
for guidance.

I don't how far they have gotten with the specifics of the
endorsement, but I will try to find out.

If folks on the list want to share their thoughts I would be
glad to pass them on...(as long as this doesn't turn into a 
big brew-ha-ha about instruction/certification in general :-)
