I don't paddle big swells, big wind, or big surf. I might make 20 miles on a good day, and still have time for breakfast, a mid-day nap, and get a supper fire going before sundown . I don't carry flares, or electronic beacons of any kind, but I always carry a Dutch Oven with a few fixin's. I do carry a weather radio, but it seems not as accurate as my own weather sense. I don't race, so if I'm going too slow for ya just paddle on around. Better yet, let's put to ground, make a pot of coffee, and visit awhile. My deck isn't cluttered with anything but some light tackle fishing gear now and then. I don't battle the elements I bathe in them ...water, wind, rain, sunshine, and firmament ....oh, yeah and a hammock ! ...adieu ...Peyton (Louisiana) ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!
