Re: [Paddlewise] Whose in San Fran?

Dave, and all PW'ers,
	The Bay Area Sea Kayakers (BASK) has proven very helpful to me since I
returned to the San Francisco area 15 months ago.  It's a sizable and
well-established club, but very open and supportive of newcomers.  BASK
members "initiate" (as distinct from "lead") open group outings at all
skill levels and on a very wide range of water conditions, ranging from
calm water on the Delta area to challenging Pacific coast sea caving and
rock gardening.  I just returned from a weekend of camping and day/nite
paddling with BASK'ers.  That included a four-hour full-moon paddle up the
tranquil and bioluminescent Big River on the Mendocino coast (northern CA)
and, the next day, a frisky outing on booming ocean whitewater around and
through lots of rocks on the nearby coast itself.  Oh, and the large group
potluck dinners can be pretty special, with BASK sometimes described as
"the dining club with a paddling disorder". :~)

	Membership, meetings, and lots of other detailed info on BASK at
	http://www.bask.org/index.htm

	Cheers to all,
		John Somers
