g) Strong opinions
Everyone, I mean everyone should at least consider making their own sea 
kayak. Once you've made one, 
believe me you'll want to make more. My affliction started innocently by 
making a Greenland paddle. 

h) Most interesting kayak trip
Fishing story: Narragansett Bay, June 98, flat calm, 2 hours after sunset out 
paddling with my 13 yr old son. 
Blues on the surface finning, eating a clam worm hatch. See a fish every 
20-30' for a mile by 1/2 mile of water. 
Stripers under them, lots of keeper fish (over 28"). Catch as many fish as 
your arms can handle (catch & release).
