Those little buggers are smarter than you think. Just when it seems like it's all fun and games, they lull you into a sense of complacency, lure you out into the open water, and WHAM!!! Next thing you know, they've got your head stuffed and mounted on some coral reef somewhere. My problem isn't with dolphins, though. It's with ducks on the water and cows on land. Old stories. :-) Mainly, I want to comment on your new year's resolution to paddle 3000 nm this year. What's the plan? Daily goals, weekly goals, a few extended mileage heavy trips, or what? Why 3000? Did you come close last year and want to break through the 3000 barrier? Aside from the pleasure factor, what is a "regular" paddle like for you, in terms of miles? I'm asking these questions out of envy. I'll be happy to log 300 miles this year, but a lot of time that I could be paddling, I'll be floating and watching wildlife, or just floating around enjoying the summer sun.
