Peter, Does "having half a brain" count? <G> I just joined a kayak club out of Paulsbo on Tuesday, and have firm intentions to join one down in Gig Harbor-that will probably be the one that I get active with. Saturday I got a "quickie" review of my navigation class-so I can finally read my chart correctly. The first goal is to get my boat and equipment together. That's tomorrow. Then [betting on weather, etc...] I HOPE to get back in sea-water on Saturday. I have decided that until I manage a few self rescues, I will stay in the harbor... Based upon my last trip-[Feb? sheesh!] my right is stronger than my left, and so I will try gripping the paddle a bit more "right of center..." Because of my poor concept of time, I will place my watch outside my drysuit. I was not so good at realizing when I had over stressed myself, resulting in pain when taking deep breaths for about a week as my muscles got back to normal...<VBG> <shrug> There is a chance that my [hoped for] trip Saturday, will not be alone-one of the members of the club I have not yet joined, made a possible offer. If you would like, I can report what is learned...
