[Paddlewise] Newbie

Hi Y'all,
I'm a newbie. Been lurking for a couple months. I'm male, 53, divorced and 
live in Poquoson, Virginia at White House Cove just off the lower 
Chesapeake Bay. I moved back to this area (my hometown is nearby) back in 
July and bought a Dagger Cypress in August. I've been away from the water 
for almost 20 years but was involved in most every thing else water related 
before that; white watering, powerboating, lived on my Columbia 28 
sailboat, scuba and much, much more.

I primarily paddle the creeks and marshes around here for exercise and 
picture taking. We have the Plum Tree Wildlife Refuge here and literally 
hundreds of miles of marsh and creek shoreline to explore. It's a really 
great place, especially since I have a public boat ramp about 200 yards 
from home. The narrow and twisty creeks are the reason I bought the 13 foot 
Dagger.

I've worked in the computer industry for the last 20 or so years and my 
last job (in Atlanta) was IT manager for a manufacturing company. Currently 
I'm mostly relaxing and doing some freelance web development work. I may 
actually go back to work someday but I'm working hard to avoid it. :--)

Keep messaging, P'wisers. I'm learning a lot.
