Ahh, well...spiritual renewal.. yes. Silence: yes. During the 
wintertime I have to work with too many people and unfortunately I 
am not always fond of them all. So with all that solitude I am trying 
to restore my faith in people, etc.

My experiences about kayaking solo last 4 years have also been 
teaching me that I better choose  c a r e f u l l y  with whom and 
what kind of people I am paddling - besides my SO. Less risk, 
responsibility and general mess.

The sad thing about this all is that the last July was extraordinarily 
nice, kayaking around the SW Archipelago National Park of 
Finland with 6 people from local club. They were nice. Might have 
missed something during these years ;-)

Yup.
