RE: [Paddlewise] Talking about GW sharks

Yes we share gear and she has a quite a few kayaks at her place. My
mother is what we refer to her as a Grey Nomad - someone who is retired
and goes travelling around. She has trouble getting her kayak on top of
her kombi but she has a small plastic one which she can slide in the
back between the two front seats. She dosn't go in the open sea but does
lake and river trips. 

Her House backs straight onto a lake (Where I grew up). So I get plenty
of paddling in when I visit. It was great when my kids were small as I
got them into kayaking (though they haven't taken it up) at an early
age. 

As for paddlewise, She is not interested in the internet - too busy

Cheers
David
