[Paddlewise] What's wrong

I've never found that to be entirely true, though some repetition is evident 
and probably necessary for economic viability. I know any time the editorial 
staff reviews an article that is similar to a previous one, it must offer 
new information or reword things to sufficiently shed new light.

Personally, I'm amazed that Sea Kayaker Magazine comes out every two months 
with the fresh articles that it does. I keep figuring they have ran out of 
stuff, when in fact, new, insightful articles pop up each issue. Some probe 
deeper than others, but on the whole, the quality remains good to excellent.

As for the layout, I liked the changes at first, but haven't made my mind up 
totally yet. I think it did need some change. Was it too much? Regardless, I 
find the magazine to be very readable and still inviting at present.

I have a list of future possible submission for the magazine, but my health 
is still on the edge, with fibrillation slowly coming back after extensive 
procedures only a short while ago, so my future output energies are strongly 
suspect. But I can still read!
