What a bunch of old farts. :) So far I think I've only seen one other person under the age of 30. I'm 29 and my wife is ... younger. (Never reveal a womans age). We've been paddling since last summer and still rank as novices. We've taken a half day class so we can at least wet exit and reenter (but not in severe water, so far we just avoid that). This works fine for the type of water we've paddled so far. The lakes around Kansas City don't really get nasty (except during thunderstorms, and then we'll stay at home in the basement to avoid tornados). We intend to take some classes this summer to increase our skill level. I paddle a plastic Necky Looksha IV while my wife paddles a Perception Shadow. All of our trips have been day trips so far but we are hoping to do a mulit-day trip some time this year after we've had our classes. We enjoy the list. For old farts you guys and gals are great! :) Mel & Julie --- There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't. -----== Sent via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==----- http://www.dejanews.com/ Easy access to 50,000+ discussion forums *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Mon Feb 08 1999 - 05:44:47 PST
