OK, I also concur with Sandy about the idea. We can always delete what
we don't want, and so far I haven't seen the Paddlewise list getting too
cluttered with replies (not like the classic rudder v no rudder debate!)

OK so here's my stuff:
I'm Kevin Kenney, 36 father two two great girls.
I am a CDR in the Navy and currently stationed in Rhode Island (great
paddling on the Naragansett) but we'll be moving to Jacksonville FL in
about 3 weeks. (any gouge on the area would be appreciated) My callsign
is Sluf (short little ugly fellow-- What, you expected everybody got
cool callsigns like Maverick and Ice?)
I am a Navy Helo pilot by trade, also a Test Pilot, so I've flown lots
of stuff from F-18's to 707's, and as I've said in other posts, I have
plenty of SAR experience too.
I am primarily a day paddler, with my longest trips being weekends in
Baja Mexico.Been paddling since '94, but I'm still very much a novice (I
can manage a Pawlata roll on a good day : ) I am secretly getting my
wife involved by letting her paddle whenever she wants to, and by
bringing the girls along whenever I can. Since I live on the water I
commute to work by Kayak 3-4 days a week (Yes I know, life's rough) and
hope to continue the trend in FL when I get there.
I paddle a WS Sealution II XS and I like it a lot. I am currently in the
market for a K-light (Hint Hint) as my time aboard ship means I can't
bring a stiffy along with me. I have been paddling in places such as
Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Australia and the Persian Gulf (not
recommended).
I'm sure I'm missing stuff, but that ought to give everyone a flavor for
who I am.
Regards to all,
Sluf

I did that trip earlier this year alone. It is indeed lovely. Hope you
have higher water than I did though! e

The Florida Boating Advisory Council deferred action on any recommendations
on the volatile issues of registering all vessels
http://www.jacksonville.com/tu-online/stories/102499/spo_1029925.html

We squeaked by for another year but they will probably try again next year.
