Geez, you'd think we had wandered into a retirement home. How much of "Those dang kids today" stories do we have to hear? :) What's next?

What's next? "When I was a kid we had to paddle up river _both_ ways to and from school" ? :) -------------- When I was a lot younger (2 years ago) I made a 24 mile circumnavigation of an island... against the tide (about 1 mph)... both ways... at night (full moon)... by myself... against moderate rips on the way up... and against serious rips on the way back... and I didn't stop (hardly) at all... and I wasn't even tired (much)... Damn kids think they have it tough now-a-days when they don't have a full ebb/flood time behind them the whole ways. Why real men..... :-) Don't trust anyone over 30! ------------- And certainly don't trust anyone under 50. So who does that leave? *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************
