I agree Al, and would add that anyone upon whom people comment "what the
**** are they doing in that thing in this weather?" must be a paddler.
As a matter of fact, if it's plastic, SOF, composite, canoe, inflatable or
even their mothers bath, if they're out there paddling, it's a start. If,
like me, they are thinking about a sail, building their own boat, or seeing
other peoples' pastimes as "think how many kayaks I could have bought for
that much money", they are a paddler.
