It's time we celebrated sea kayakers who go out of their way to help others get started, continue to inform all of us, and even occasionally wax poetic. These are the folks who endlessly respond to mailing-list postings, always seem to know the best routes and tips, and enlist in every boathouse and island cleanup. Since this was my idea, I get to go first. I am forever stumbling across his kind and informarive responses to mailing-list questions. He is always reminding us about rallies and letter-writing campaigns for good causes. Instead of scribbled online responses, his are thoughtful and often quite moving. And you never get a glimpse of a commercial motive in his communications. I hereby nominate Ralph Diaz. You can find him hanging out on the nyckayaker_at_envirolink.org mailing list or paddling the Hudson River. Kudos, Ralph--maybe i'll see you out on the water someday.
