RE: [Paddlewise] Gatorade Gunk/Yum Yum/Ain't This Special!

My neighborhood is called Trade Winds (built in the 50s) is on the ICWW and
I paddle from there to Lake Worth and South to Deerfield on day trips.
There's lots of great places to paddle within an hour's drive and the ocean
only 10 minutes. I usually put in on the North side of Delray Beach.

The strange thing is that there are very few paddlers in the area. I met
Chuck Landis on the list and I know one other paddler and that's it!

The Banana Boat is still there but they are pretty yupified. I've been that
Radio Shack MANY times!


Cya!

		Two Georges, Wow, thats a name from the past!  Right next to
the Banana
		Boat.  Used to sneak into the Ol' B. Boat when I was
underage to get
		drinks.  There and Bostons in Delray.  Course the legal age
for booze was
		18/19 at the time!  8-)  I was down there last Xmas visiting
friends, went
		down Atlantic Ave, and walked on the beach.  Really was
kinda wierd.
		Amazing how much the place has changed but also how much had
not changed.
		To still see Bostons with a large crowd and loud music was
very, very
		strange.  Almost like I had never left......

		The pizza place, I think was named Village Pizza, was on
Congress and
		Boynton Beach Blvd.  It was in the Publix shopping center on
the south west
		corner.  The pizza place was next to a Radio Shack.   I used
to work there
		right after High School, Atlantic Community H.S.  GO WAR
EAGLES!  8-)  I
		ate mucho pizza from that place.  They had a Mexican pizza
that was really
		good.  They used to send us pies that people had not picked
up!  What a
		Perk!  8-)  They would tell us to crank up the music after
we had closed
		and they provided the pizza.  Course the Hallmark store did
not really
		appreciate the finer aspects of Molly Hatchet and The Who
played at loud
		levels.  But what more can you expect out of 18 year olds
after hours in a
		stereo shop?  8-)

		The owner at the time, was a women, who I think believed she
was a witch.
		A good witch I hope.  Had garlic over the cash register, and
some sign in
		Latin that was supposed to keep the Werewolves at bay.  I
opened a freezer
		once, I said I was there a lot!  8-), and there was a frozen
frog
		inside.....  8-)  Hopefully not used as part of the Mexican
Pizza......

		One of the things that blows my mind is how much water was
around me and I
		did not have a clue about sea kayaks.  When I think of all
of the
		opportunities to paddle down there I just wanna cry.  I
lived there for
		close to 10 years.....  8-(

		Are you on the IC or there abouts.  I take it your not out
west in what
		used to be cow pastures?  At the time we lived in Gulfview
Harbour just on
		the otherside of 95.  Was way out west at the time....  Even
the canals
		around the old house would have been fun to paddle in.  No
traffic to speak
		off and you could go for quite a while to get some good
excercise......
		Sigh....

		Later...
