Kayak trip down the Colorado thru the Grand Canyon; 18 exhausting days on the river. Later trip on the Green River had similar landscape, incredible ancient dwelling sites and rock art, without the intense whitewater. Two weeks paddling in the Exuma Islands in the Bahamas. Rarely saw other people. Great beaches and snorkelling. Numerous trips to Vancouver Island, both sides, from kayaks and sailboats. Most interesting was an early spring trip thru Kyuquot Sound, and north to the Brooks Peninsula. Very stormy, many, many bears, (even one in our camp). One trip to the Johnstone Strait area was made memorable by some strongly negative group dynamics, which reinforced my preference to travel with just one other person. Other interesting trips include a solo bike tour thru France, Luxemburg, and Germany, many Oregon and Idaho whitewater river trips, and visits to Costa Rica and Mexico, sans kayak. Am planning a trip to Panama, to the Bocas del Toro island area in January. Looking for paddle partner! i) BIO: Took up ww kayaking in early 80s and progressed to sea kayaking around 1984, (first touring boat was a Sea Runner!). Haven't done much ww for the last 2 or 3 years, and miss it alot. Still love exploring Oregon and Washington coastal bays when I have the energy and time. Favorites include Willapa and Nestucca Bay. Oh yea, female, single, over 40. ------------------------------------------------------------- ___________ / OOOOOOO- / I / -OOOOOOO- / I /___________/ / I___________I / Have you hugged your bento today?
