Lemme see....2004 in a nutshell:

  Enrolled in  an advanced rolling course that turned out to be an 
advanced Greenland rolling class.  I had never even touched a GP until 
that class.  It was both fun and embarrassing being the worst student in 
the class.  Went home and made a bunch of GPs. I surfed the snot out of 
my Pyranha sit on top and can even roll that tub well. Ran into dolphins 
mating off Tybee Island GA.  Accidently ended up in the middle of them.  
They weren't happy with that and seemed a bit aggressive.  I guess I 
would be too. Took my nine year old kayak fishing and she caught a bunch 
of fish.  I was the designated tow boy, bait boy and dehooker of fish.  
She was the fishergirl and cheering section. Taught a VERY talented 
hardcore WW kayaker to sea kayak and had a blast doing it.  Took her out 
in some crazy confused water and even got her to wet exit once. Met 
Cheri Perri  and chatted for a while. She liked my boat (You hear that 
Ronnie!). Broke and fixed a boat.  Watched my wife actually use the 
kayak I made for her and really enjoy floating  in the Keys. No 
paddling, just floating. Went to sleep under a meteor filled sky while 
kayak camping.  No complaints, just compliments to the kayak gods. 
Except maybe about the busted boat.
