I spent my childhood in the high Arctic. And while it was an unique and enjoyable experience, now that I've been a (relative) southerner for about 45 years, I'm not sure that I want to return to the Arctic in order to enjoy kayaking. If I promise not to reproduce, can I be granted an exemption to paddle southern waters? Although I have reproduced, or so I'm told, the result has zero interest in kayaks. If it's not a drum that he can hit with a stick, he's not interested at all. He only interacts with other drummers (I hate to think of *that* gene pool!!) -- Darryl *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
