Okay, here goes, a) Name Tom Weese b) Email address gadfly_at_tscnet.com c) Kayaks owned or paddled (boat names also if you like) Northwest Kayaks Pursuit, Pirouette /S, d) Boat name and serial number if maritime radio operator KB8UZD Ham... e) Special interests Recovery from brain injury, kayaking, wood turning, wood carving f) Specialist knowledge Much of what I had, has gone due to BI-but I am getting it back...:) g) Strong opinions (I doubt we'll have any of those :~) 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> My web site is:http://www2.tscnet.com/~gadfly/ <gadfly_at_tscnet.com> homepage: http://www2.tscnet.com/~gadfly/ *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Tue Nov 02 1999 - 16:24:57 PST
