If you paddle as time permits, am willing to paddle almost anything that
floats, and don't give much thought as to whether or not you are part of
the paddling community, you likely are.

Esp if you are willing to give a ride to any soggy person who has a
paddle in their pocession...and looks like they need a ride back to
nowhere.
