Doug,

I can more or less understand your wifes point of view: She seems to
want your full attention 100% percent of the time, while you try to
split your attention between the Sea, the Lord, Paddlewise, your
children, your pink house and her, more or less in that order. She seems
specifically to nag about Paddlewise, leaving the other points for what
they are. There seems to be some space for negotiation.

- Could you promise her to spend less time looking in horror at your
pink walls, and divide that extra time between her and Paddlewise?
- Could you sign up your children on Paddlewise, so you can share time
with them while contributing to the list?

If negotiation fails, just tell her that you are saving lives
contributing to Paddlewise. Not only by forcing us to wear PFD's, but
also in writing extreme trip reports, saving us the bother to go out
ourselves in storm conditions. She is selfish in her demands and leaves
a trail of drowned kayakkers in her wake.

If you don't feel up to the discussion, why don't you send her email
address, post address or telephone number to the list, so we can all
have a go at talking some sense into her.

Looking forward to your next trip report,

Niels.
