Doug, you have written so many thoughts here, and there are so many adjectives (all positive, from my POV) that can be applied to them. But the absolute gem I quote below just took my breath away. >The individual's achievements are always special and unique, >no matter the level of one's skills.... The joy of being on the water, of being outside, and all the rest are part of this passion for kayaking, but that sense of individual achievement in the context of paddling is the core! *************************************************************************** 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/ ***************************************************************************Received on Thu Mar 02 2000 - 17:18:05 PST
