Have to admit, I got the map out to see where Port Townsend was last week; the symposium sounded very tempting. Hardly seems far, only 8 or 10 inches on my map, how bad could that be?! Duane and I would love to host a paddle for you northern folk, but be real, I don't know anyone who owns a Mariner that can bear to lend it out!!! I'm glad I have my little neck of the woods to paddle in, but I'm not sure our environs match up to the northern coastlines. Always fun to check out a new area though. I actually like to surf my QCC in the right waves. I put the rudder down or it broaches badly, but I'd like to find a nice cheap surf boat for the "brawny" man.

Bless you. Um... you might try borrowing a Mariner Express. I haven't tried mine in ocean surf yet but it loves to surf wind waves and boat wakes even with me in it and I weigh 225. I'd say try a Coaster but we don't need more competition for those. <laugh> Craig Jungers Royal City, WA *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
