Re: [Paddlewise] Favorite Kayak Blogs

Ignacio's Journal seems to be the premier blog out there, though it doesn't 
always relate directly to kayaking. I see he picked up a Paddlewise story 
last December about my Perfect Storm, storm paddle. One has to be careful 
what writes on the internet these days, as things can be picked up readily 
by various and assundry. I often like to explore a bloggers links to their 
favorite blog links, which can produce new reading material. Ignacio has 
such a list too (friends list).

Robert (Woody) Woodward's and Freya Hoffmeisters's sites are two I like. I 
see Gordin Warner has started a new blog (he sent us a linking last week). 
I'll see if he makes an entry for his paddle yesterday, May 8th. The wind 
REALLY kicked up (fast low, sudden high pressure infill), sending three 
paddlers to the hospital for hypothermia after a multiple capsize off the 
Victoria waterfront in five foot waves (single and a double kayak). I was 
sitting at my desk, wishing I could be out on the water yesterday in the 
afternoon. I got thinking about kayaks, so phoned Gordinn. He was just 
leaving the takeout after getting pinned down at the lighthouse in extreme 
gusts. Was I ever jealous.

I still like kayakers who maintain informative web sites like Duane's site, 
which are ultimately more useful to me rather than journal-like blog sites.
