Jim, I don't know how old you are but I do paddle with a few *geezers* in their low to late 50's. As a geezer, I'd like to use this article as an explanation for why I paddle whitewater: It's behind you!: The amazing moment a couple had a close encounter with a humpback whale http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=524069&in_page_id=1766&ito=1490 My idea of the kind of "whale" I want to encounter is Whale Rock in Upper Keeney in the New River Gorge. As far as I know, it's very very stationary. (And the eddy behind it is a good place to take a good look at Middle Keeney.) ---Rsk *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
