subject: [Paddlewise] Trip to Greenland addendum
Date: Mon, 06 May 2002 21:40:06 -0500
I thought I should also add a few more things about me and my desires.

I was hoping to make this trip to Greenland in one week which is all I
may be able to get off although I will try for two weeks.  Hopefully
there are some great things to be done in short periods... with out
rushing.  

My kayak skills are low range of moderate. I do NOT know how to roll.  I
have only been kayaking three or four times in the past 10 years
[perhaps that makes me a beginner] but felt very comfortable and secure
in one in light chop and feel perfectly comfortable if a powerboat
tosses me a set of waves (although I don't like the idea of powerboats
heading right for me at all).  My main area of paddling experience is as
a canoeist.  I think it would not be an exaggeration to say I have
canoed several hundred times.  Hopefully this would make me a good
candidate for a several day trip in Greenland.  Any feedback on that is
also welcome.

Regards,
Bob
