Designed in my head after the last Delmarva retreat while doing a 7 hour drive home. e) Special interests Sea kayaking (Greenland paddles), saltwater fly fishing from kayaks, mountain biking, sailing f) Specialist knowledge Stitch & Glue kayak hulls and designs. 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). *************************************************************************** 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/ ***************************************************************************
