Hello Dough, yes I keep a diary on my paddling trips (other trips also). On whitewater trips I write up more "technical" issues like the water level, the stretch we paddled the difficulties, weather and so on. This is very useful for me if I come to the same river later and read what conditions I found at what water level may be a year earlier. It helps me also to sort my pictures at home. On touring trips I write more about the day and how I felt, about the scenery and for example about nice campgrounds. And I use my notebook on whitewater trips, because I go there with my mobile home, so electricity is not the problem. Since some months I own a Toshiba Libretto, which is a very small but complete computer (about the size of a video cassette). I plan to bring it on touring trips. I will install an solar panel on the rear deck of my K1 to load a lead-gel-accu (sp?) over the day (which I plan to install for an electric bilge pump). With my cell-phone I could also log in the net and read paddlewise, but I am really not sure if I will do :-) The notebook is more important to store the pictures of a digital camera I will by in the next months.
