Retired police lieutenant who, at 52, qualifies for the 'old fart' section of the list. My mind still says that I'm a bunch of years younger though the body disagrees from time to time. I paddle a Skerray from my home on the shores of S.E. Lake Michigan or, when I get the urge, go back to the old digs on the North Carolina coast or head for Isle Royal on Lake Superior. Thinking about building a stripper or plywood yak while kind of half-heartedly also looking for a canoe which will allow the dog along on flatwater inland lakes around here - ahhh, the bliss of not having to be anywhere at a certain time! Oops! Fell asleep there for a minute! In good weather, I'm a daily paddler of about 8 miles however, my favorite time in the floating muscle toner is on weekend or week-long trips. Then I use the yak for a photographing and fishing platform. Just wishing I could find a way to make it tax deductable. Then it would be perfect!
