Last year at TAKS, I missed all of Dubside's rope work while taking photos elsewhere, so this year I planned to make sure I had a ring-side seat. Of course, I got engrossed talking to Mike Powers about his last Patagonian kayak trip and his next adventure down south and missed all of the D man's slack rope walking. Still got to see the fancy Greenland Rope tricks. Here's a web page of some of my photos. Don't feel like waiting till they're all ready to post them; I'll just add new pages of photos as I get them ready. I've already seen Duane's great photos and I hope these will round things out some more. http://www.sandmarks.net/TAKS07.html Mark *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

I got to San Simeon for TAKS on Thursday last week. Each evening when the wind kicked up, we wondered if this was the big expected blow. Each morning we hit the beach expecting giant surf. But the wind and waves gave us a break till Sunday when most of us were headed home. On the first day of paddle, a large group tried for a 12 mi RT to the light house, but most of us turned back early, as conditions changed a bit. We made sure to have fun playing in the surf each day, in case the next day wouldn't allow it Of course we all had to drive home under the clouds of smoke with our boats buffeted on their racks, but I got home quicker than I came. We were lucky. Hopefully, that luck held up for everyone at home! Chocolate Brain--ooops, sometimes that just pops out of me for no reason! Please don't ban me for life!!!
