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.

  You and Duane were mentioned a few times and several of us agreed we'd
like to travel down there and paddle out to the Big Ass Rock.

  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>
