[Paddlewise] The Panama Canal.

Hi.
   While Sitting in for a long delay in Newark International Airport (a
five hour layover) yesterday I was talking to a charming young woman from
Panama.  When we were talking about kayaking, nobody who has talked to me
for more than a half hour has escaped hearing about kayaking, she told me
that they have a Panama Canal Kayak Race every year.  She said that it
occurred about a month ago.  Does anyone on Paddlewise know anything
about this?  She said that the local Shriners or Masons have a lot to do
with it.  It sounds like a nice goal, to paddle the Panama Canal.

    Paddling along through fog so thick that only one's thoughts are 
visible, your reverie is abruptly shattered by the ancient cry of a great
blue heron as she lifts uncertainly from the brilliant blue of a 
mussel-shell beach witnessed only by the brooding, wet spruce....your
passage home seems as much back through time as it does through space.
