Hello, I started receiving this list late last year and have enjoyed it considerably. I have learned a few things and have had a good laugh a few times I started paddling about 15 years ago thanks to my brother-in-law in New Brunswick and really started paddling with a vengeance when I moved from the Prairies to British Columbia about 8 years ago. I live about 2 minutes from a nice day paddle destination and manage to paddle my Current Designs Solstice Gt year round. What I really enjoy though are multi-day trips and have managed to paddle a good deal of the BC coast on trips ranging form 2 to 10 days, sometimes with a small group of freinds and often solo ( foolish enough to paddle alone but smart enough to know when to sit on the beach for days at a time if necessary). This past year I also managed to get in a few canoe trips ( really enjoyed the Bowron Lakes ), and will be looking at adding a canoe to my list of toys this year. In my spare time I have begun to volunteer at the Vancouver Aquarium where I work with school kids learning about marine inverterbrates and marine mammals. This is also a big year for me as I have just quit my job of 12 years and have begun my own kayak tour company, giving me a chance to do a number of things I enjoy. Paddling, being in the wilderness, teaching people new skills and passing along my enthusiasm for wilderness to others. Looking forward to more great posts Andrew Jones _______________________________________________ Kingfisher Wilderness Adventures Ltd.
