This and Ralph's comments reminded me of the advice of another sage
paddler- Harry Roberts- who was the editor of Canoesport Journal before
his death several years ago.  He said "if its wet- paddle it".  Sure I'd
rather be on Prince William Sound or on the Middle Fork of the Salmon-
but I can also get great enjoyment from paddling on the local reservoir
or Class II river, and do it a lot more often!
