Re: [Paddlewise] PaddleWise shoulder exercises

You should take them west of the Cascades for good summer paddling. I've
been on Upper Priest Lake (in Idaho) twice; once with my son-in-law and then
two weeks later an overnighter with my son. I'm sure there are equivalent
lakes (or even better!) up in the Okanogan.

I did have a great paddle in cool weather with Dave Kruger on the Columbia
River with both my son and son-in-law. Our daughter had the great good sense
to marry a guy who was willing to learn to paddle. :)    Dave and I
exchanged nice words about you and sent good wishes north. Wish you could
have been with us.

Sorry to hear about the paddler off Lummi. I really hate it when someone
dies kayaking because it is generally something that could have been
avoided. Paddling on any stretch of salt water (and on large lakes) is not
Disneyland North and people need to realize that it's not just a matter of
sitting down and heading out. There is a skillset.

And many thanks for the kind thoughts. I'm looking forward to a time when
both you and Dave K. have rekindled your writing bugs.
