[Paddlewise] Who we are

I am 41 and live on the Merrimac river in Newburyport MA. My wife and I
originally came to kayaking a couple of years ago after deciding that
canoeing together, in the same boat, was a sure way to ruin.

We have since learned to paddle correctly together and no longer feel like
drunken Siamese twins. But it is still nice to have our own boats. Our
paddling is mainly summer, recreational, lakes and rivers stuff. I am in
the middle of building a John Winters' designed "Caspian Sea", as well as
restoring an old english "Tyne" kayak that I rescued from someones trash.

Learning to kayak is something that we enjoy doing together, and we are
certainly in a great area to do it. We have a lot of estuarial paddling
places, marshes, rivers as well as the ocean. The whole coast from Cape Ann
to Portland is available to us without much work.

This list has built a wonderful community, and it's been a kick to get to
know a little about you all. Thanks
