Tom Last summer I went to paddle with the Cornell Outdoor Club at their weekly practice on the little reservoir on campus. It was raining a bit and the sky looked a bit ominous so there were about a dozen people sitting under the porch waiting to see what the weather was going to do before grabbing the kayaks and going out onto the reservoir. The weather got worse and soon there was thunder and lightning all around. There were at least a couple of lightning strikes that hit the water were we would have been paddling. We waited it out and when it looked like the brunt of the storm passed I went home to paddle another day. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
