I'm trying to network to find more support for this event: The navy wants to extend it's zone and folks who live on or have businesses that use the southern waterways of the Hood Canal are really worried. Any paddlewise members live near any of these places or know people who do? Have connections to organizations that can help? According to the North Kitsap Herald, there will be meetings as follows: Keyport, Nov 17; Belfair, Nov 18; Quilcene, Nov 19; and Hoquiam, Nov 20. Apparently they are proposing to extend Operating areas in Keyport, Dabob Bay, and Quinault. More information on www.keyport.kpt.nuwc.navy.mil. Public comments will be accepted until Dec 5. If the extension is large scale and the areas used more frequently than now, it will definitely hamper kayaking in much of our area. I have paddled often in most of these areas and have yet to see any activity. The meetings are from 6-9 pm. I would go to the Keyport meeting, but can't get there that early. Andre, can you make the Quilcene meeting? When we find out what they are really proposing, we can make meaningful comments and lets keep each other posted. Thanks for bringing this up.
