Dear Anxious to paddle but still on shore,

    (so Dear Abbey-ish, isn't it?) 

Jed,
You were very astute, I did start with the intent to write to her however 
several things came to mind; the post would be too widely read & secondly it 
would no doubt, draw response from folks to whom "paddling" could be a sport 
of dubious nature. It would get old rather quickly instead of saying hello to 
address someone i.e. (structured verbage) how is the weather in your world? 
My intent is not to be rude,  I find it rather difficult to drop my dry New 
England sense of humor.

I appreciate the recommended website & will continue my pursuit to paddle (in 
the PW way of course). It is wonderful what you folks do for paddlers in your 
area & I shall check OOPS & other contacts in my area to see if there is such 
an activity around here. I did, with much delight, receive a contact here in 
Vancouver & plan to contact them immediately! 

Have a great day
Sandi
