Paddling is the only thing I have ever done that has allowed me to  
fully attain a feeling of perfect peace. It only happens when I  
paddle alone in a calm place where I can completely relax. Places  
like beyond the rocks on the Savannah river where most people turn  
back or up an old creek bed at the local impoundment where the bass  
and striper boats bottom out. It makes me feel very awake and aware  
of the amazing details. And its low fat and non polluting.

Thanks for the report Paul,

Jim et al
