I joined the list yesterday. I guess I joined at the right time since everyone is introducing himself or herself. Hmm, vital statistics: I am a 27 years old single guy/Computer Geek (Systems Engineer MCP) living in Hilliard, OH. I am fairly new at flatwater kayaking. I have paddled several small lakes in Southern and central Ohio, but never any open water like Eire or oceans (yet). How I got into flatwater kayaking? I own a 16 lightweight aluminum canoe. The canoe is great for running the creeks in southern Ohio but was lousy for traveling on lakes. I have also loved to sail since a vacation in the Caribbean when I was able to sail a sunfish all day every day. The NautiRaid with a sail would allow me to paddle and sail, lakes and oceans. Having just found this list, I plan on asking some questions in the next couple off weeks. If the issues I bring up have been covered already please just summarize the conclusions and forward them to me (unless you want to discuss them again). Other hobbies: Computers, Fishing, hunting, photography, scuba diving, and anything else I can think of. While I am thinking about it, did anyone say they were from around my area, before I joined the list? Thanks PS.
