I met Dave at the put-in near his home just after he bought his Dagger. We've been trying to hook-up and paddle, but due to my work, it hasn't happened yet :-( Anyhow, welcome to P'Wise, Dave. A great deal of what I've learned in the past two years is a result of P'Wise threads. It has been and will continue to be a very valuable and fun forum for me, and I hope you will experience the same. By the way, Dave mentioned the many miles of creeks and marsh..... "Poquoson" is an indian word meaning "Great Marsh". We used to be an island (just barely) until some of the creeks filled with sediment. Consequently, Poquoson is a small (15,000 residents), isolated bastion of "small town, USA" surrounded by a region called "Hampton Roads" that is home to about 1.2 million people. Lots of neat places to explore if you like protected water - just not at low tide (it's hard to do the "gorilla walk" when the muck is elbow deep)! And once you've had enough of Poquoson, there's still the whole Cheseapeake Bay and it's tributaries! Rick - Poquoson, VA (air temps expected to reach a record high of 78 today, with water temps in the mid 50's .... wishin I was retired too!!!!) *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
