Sometimes it just turns quiet, no reason why. It's often quiet on weekends, but I can figure out the reason for that -- not that everyone is out paddling, but that they check P-wise on the Q-T from work . . . -- Wes --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wes Boyd's Kayak Place NEW URL! -- http://www.kayakplace.com Kayaks for Big Guys (And Gals) | Trip Reports | Places To Go | Boats & Gear --------------------------------------------------------------------------- *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

I for one, got "sick" for two days in addition to the weekend for a nice long paddling trip. God it was good! I was amazed to find almost no Paddlewise mail when I returned.

I just returned from a couple of days of intensive surfing and paddling south of Sydney and am in the market for a new helmet. Having to wear my heavy poly helmet for a couple of days was hell. Can anyone recommend a good brand of composite material (carbon/kevlar) helmet? Ones with the baseball cap-type peak particularly interests me to avoid being barbecued by the sun. Also is their any great advantage in having one that covers your ears? I found that it significantly reduced my ability to hear shouted warnings (we had some great kayak on kayak collisions). I figure a good blow on the side of the head is probably going to break your neck anyway. Be interested in any comments / suggestions. Richard.

Here in Barrie Ontario, we have been spending all of our energy chopping a hole in the ice big enough for our kayaks. Unfortunately, the ice is almost 2 ft thick, so by the time we get home, we are too tired to write emails :~) -----Original Message----- Hi there, is something wrong with Paddlewise group?

I admire the patience of anyone who can sit down and pluck all the feathers from their paddle, especially those big long kayak paddles. But if you have wrist problems doesn't all that meticulous hand work cause a lot of trouble? Or is it offset by the reduced wind resistance once you get them off?

I presume Joy meant for this to go to the list. Joy: I think you will find the signal-to-noise ratio very very high here, and the quality superlative. Nevertheless it is a community and sometimes the collective sense of humour comes out. Once you find a topic you aren't interestedin, zap it all and don't read it.

This sometimes reminds me of some science or theology symposium :-)... I.e., authors, already in posession of profound knowledge, are speaking or answering in order to get a sensible response from the widest possible audience, and thus, to get closer to the Truth, (or to disseminate what they consider to be the Truth :-). Since this process of "getting closer" is endless in all possible directions, it would be cruel to stop people from speaking up, and would probably hamper the evolution of paddling civilization :-)... *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
