h) Most interesting kayak trip

	Navigation lesson at Gig Harbor-but all are interesting else I would not 
do them.  I'm a daytime paddler, with an expedition kayak <g>

i) Short Bio (personal description)

	I started kayaking with the Caspia in Michigan about 4 years ago I 
think-but wanted to take on Lake Michigan, and followed a Dr.'s advice and 
bought a Necky.  Before I took on the Big Lake, I moved to Seattle area 
[now Bremerton] there I bought my Pursuit.  Have taken a class with Nigel 
Foster [my first kayaking class] George Gronselth, and a couple of classes 
with Mik at Gig Harbor.

	Unfortunately, a brain injury put a severe, uh... "cramp" in my style for 
the last 1.5 years.  I am working on getting with a group, so that I can 
perhaps more safely ramp up to multi-day trips some day...

	I am working at wood turning to help me get back some of my fine motor 
skills for now as my BI puts a kibosh on my previous employment [maint. man 
at a Natural Gas Compressor Station]

	I have hopes that wood turning may turn into some badly needed cash <G>
