You really can speak Qajaq? says Steve...
A few words and phrases from the Qajaq language (as spoken on Paddlewise):
"Meteorological contextualization was given to the piece..."
"I have 12"... I have the same problem. I am 5'11" and 170 pounds"
"I haven't slept in my kayak, but I sometimes sleep with it.  Sometimes I
sleep with my favorite paddle, sometimes with my guitar."
"Moses is one of few people who could get away without a PFD since he could
do a "part the waters rescue."
"Peaked hat?  eek!  I suppose it was just a bad hair day  ;-)."
"...still breathing the richness of the trees."
"...almost being knocked over by a panicked manatee..."
"Maybe - and maybe not - doesn't make a difference for me - I do it because
it _might_ make a
difference."
"However, and this is a big HOWEVER, I am blessed with an almost perfect
head,"

A rich and varied language.
