I have recently re-upped. I've been involved in a startup company: www.soytek.com and have been cycling between 100 and 200 miles a week, and have not had enough time to paddle. I'm hoping to get back on the water more often then during the past couple of years. I look forward to seeing the familiar names and "meeting" the new ones. Cya!

Welcome back, Bob. It's time to confess that I've been what science-fiction fans call a "fake fan." Though unlike you I remained on Paddlewise, before last night I hadn't been in my kayak for a record ten months. Last night was my birthday present to myself. Last night's paddle at least partly answered the question: "Once you have a reliable roll, how long does it remain reliable without practice?" All my rolls on my good side (several extended rolls, a screw roll, and a sculling roll, all with my Greenland paddle) were successful, if not quite as smooth as I remembered, but my one try at an offside roll failed. Various small back, thigh, and calf pains also told me I needed to resume my stretching exercises before any extended trips. Gotta get out more often!
