<<Mike - Have you attended the Sweetwater Symposium? And if so. would
you give
me and others a rundown on what it's like? I know that Sweetwater offers
BCU
trainings, but I also know that they stop at 4 Star, saying that the
weather
down there isn't severe enough for 5 Star (and that's okay with me!). >>

 I heard it was a great training venue, but on a national basis, in term
of cohesiveness, how does an all BCU development weekend help Americans
when the dominant system will one day be the ACA. Forgive me my
ignorance of US paddling politics. I do not know a lot about what goes
on down there, and I _do_ know that the BCU stuff is top notch, but
where will this fit in with those wanting to move through the instructor
levels as the country moves toward a national program?
