How many of you have paddled the ocean for ten or more consecutive days? I estimate about 4000 miles, over 10 seasons, much of it on fresh water. Several extended trips on salt water ... averaging about two or three 10-12 day jaunts each summer, along with three or four five-day stints on fresh water. Just curious why the interest in "salt" water -- if an attempt to discern whether we paddle "demanding" conditions, perhaps Sid might want to query folks who have paddled the big lakes (Great) or similar conditions. The Lower Columbia, my home paddling waters, has some enormous fetches, and can be as gnarly as near-shore protected ocean waters (Georgia Straits, tamer parts of Puget Sound, etc.). Not bragging, just curious what Sid is after. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
