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.
