Jim, There are people better qualified to tell about them, including some of the stars of the events, who are on this list. But generally, the LL Bean event is a general gathering in Castine, ME, one of the most beautiful places on Earth, and home to the Maine Maritime Academy. A general, all-around good time, from what I gather. I'd be aware of the need to make arrangements for accomodations, and I'd be prepared to deal with some traffic problems. The ACK event, if it's the one I'm thinking of, is limited to a certain number of people and is, I think, a relatively advanced event, compared to the LL Bean thing. I think it's held up on the Hudson. That's about all I know. I had planned to attend the LL Bean event, but other things have intervened. Oh well. To me, kayaking is a profoundly individual experience (note I did not say "individualistic", which I think is different <g>), and group activities are something I regarding with a bit of ambivalence anyway. . . Hope this helps. Mark Lane NY > Good evening, > > Would someone please tell me about these two events? A short synopsis > possibly.
