Well I'm kinda new to the sport. I'm hoping the grim reaper gives me a few
good years kayaking before giving my spot to the more deserving. I've never
been kayak camping, but I've never found the sea to be too crowded to affect
my enjoyment. When I'm out in the ocean, it always seems there's too few
paddlers, not too many. Course, I only paddle out of one of the world's
busiest pleasure boat harbors.

How many out there agree with me that this is really good news. With the
boom over and attrition from the grim reaper on the other end as well maybe
sea kayaking will again return to being a sport where one doesn't have to
compete for a camp spot.
