Dana writes: "He was so good and no offense to any other greenland style paddlers, and so much like a ballerina paddling and rolling he makes us look like rank amateurs." I am amazed that someone on so august a list as this would have the effrontery to question the 'Greenlandedness" of someone whose native language is Greenlandic. (Not you Dana, the chap to whom you responded, in your post.) Ballerina somehow doesn't describe it. Perhaps a swan swimming amongst a wallow of yawning hippos does it more justice. Anyway that's how he made me feel. And although he was very kind and diplomatic, I could tell that he thought my skin on frame baidarka was really a floating gravel truck! ........(sniff)! *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Fri Apr 23 1999 - 06:23:39 PDT
