How ya'll are ?? Mardi Gras to you all !! I am age 51 and about the only thing I brag about now is "outliving" my first canoe ..the old aluminum Grumann. Lots of miles and many more smiles. Moved on to poly Tripper style canoes; and then later on came short WW kayaks; and always there was the pirogue. I have used a friends touring kayak several times over the past 6 months and looks like I will add to my pile, yet again in the near future. Presently considering something in poly at over 16 feet and 23-24 inches wide...a nice 3 - 5 day camping boat for large inland lakes and large flatwater rivers and backwater would be nice. I have not yet outlived a couple Dutch ovens for gumbo, etoufee, jambalaya, sauce piquant, etc. My backyard river is the Ouachita and not too far away is the Atchafalaya Basin....and if you get the pronunciation right on either of those you are invited to supper. I enjoy the PaddleWise list and all that goes on there. Sounds like a good group to have a "get together" with. Ya'll come on down...we'll pass a good time, yeah !! This past weekend it was 78 deg F and I got sun-burned ...what a winter to paddle through !!!
