Re: [Paddlewise] Conquering Kayakers?

I agree with Bill Hanson that it is often more for a sense
of self.  Not to say that there aren't a lot of macho
conquerer types around.  I sometimes attempt something just
for the sense of achieving a personal goal.  I'll think that
wouldn't it be nice to be able to paddle all the way around
a certain lake, or say maybe I'll try to make it all the way
to a cetain bay and back. If I make it, I don't feel that
I've conquered the lake, just that I have set a tough goal
and managed to achieve it.  If anything gets conquered, it
is me beating my own weaknesses, or previous achievements.
