10/11 8:37 One of the great things about this list is checking out all the different links provided by people. You're always sure to come across great information and photos. I have to admit though I was surprised to see this photo posted on the Ringwood Canoe Club site--an affiliation of the BCU dedicated to safe paddling!! Showing a WW paddler without the proper safety equipment seems irresponsible. I can only assume it is the incongruity of the unprotected paddler in a challenging environment that makes the photo so mesmerizing. At least the other paddler shows the proper surprise at seeing the unprotected paddler. http://www.btinternet.com/~ringwood.canoe/images/caption02.jpg If I ever find paddlers flaunting the lack of proper gear like this, I assure you I'm going to have a long talk with them!!
