Hello; My name is Lou Velasco. I am new to this list, as well to the pastime of kayaking. I haven't a boat (yet). However, I have been stockpiling other required essentials, PDFs, pump, paddles, knowledge, etc. etc. The price of all this peripheral equipment doesn't' sting so badly if bought over the long haul. =) I reside in San Diego, Calif., and am currently stationed aboard MCAS Miramar... now an aviation type. I've been with the Marine Crops for nearly 25 years. I'm 42 years young, am in excellent physical condition, and still harbor a passion for adventure and travel. However, adventure stays a little closer to home these days. Kayaking for me (or will be) is a family issue. I've got a great family, and wish to impart to my girls the experience the fun of adventure on the water, before they grow up... too much. <g> My other passions, next to my family, are Classical Guitar (have a few), distance swimming, walks in the evening, and running in the early morning hours. Oh yes, can't forget, "Strong coffee!"... You Navy types can relate! =) In closing and without further delay, I shall begin to lurk and sponge (collect knowledge).
