G'Day, A couple of people have asked me how to submit their bio's to the Who's Who List: http://www.paddlewise.net/whoswho/ This is a public website hosted by Paddlewise and accessible to anyone on the internet. Just send your details in plain text format as part of your email to mailto:rebyl_kayak_at_iprimus.com . Send anything you like so long as its vaguely related to paddling and not illegal or immoral (fattening is OK). Attach small pictures too if you wish. We tend not to include addresses or telephone numbers and use a simple code for email addresses for privacy. A lot of people use a standard format but its not essential - any form will do. I've given an example below - It's a figment of my tortured mind. Any resemblance to persons real or imagined is purely coincidental - honest!! All the best, PeterO a) NAME: Hercules Dolittle b) EMAIL ADDRESS: Herc_at_warmmail.com.timbuctoo c) KAYAKS (Owned or Paddled): Golden vessel with pumice rocks for flotation - more of a canoe than a kayak d) BOAT NAME Big Bang e) SPECIAL INTERESTS: Great white shark wrestling f) SPECIALIST KNOWLEDGE: Risk management g) STRONG OPINIONS: Don't wrestle great white sharks or any animals bigger than yourself h) MOST INTERESTING KAYAK TRIP: Paddling from Mt Vesuvius to Timbuctoo via the Sahara I) SHORT BIO: Born in Thebes 1000BC. Left town in a hurry after quarrelling with Hera (she was just a friend, honestly!). After working hard all my life, retired to Herculaneum (liked the name) and Pliny the Elder taught me to paddle in the Bay of Naples, but I was always faster than him. Left town in a hurry in 79 AD and paddled to Timbuctoo. Have worked variously as tanner, pest exterminator, poacher, pig farmer, stable hand, hydraulic engineer and matador. After that I engaged in a life of crime - But I'm semi retired now and a reformed character. These days paddle around in an unusual vessel given me by my mate Sol. Have just recently subscribed to Paddlewise. Would have subscribed when I first learned to kayak but the stone tablets kept bouncing back with "mailbox unavailable" messages. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
