Re: [Paddlewise] Free At last, Free at last!

Gordin was out with the club on Sunday; he looked liked he had reached a 
paddling maturity of some signifigance. Not age-related, but experience and 
intensity related. If you have been paddling long enough you can tell the 
look; the moves; the attitude - a certain uncanny confidence, a strength of 
character, a calmness you know can face environmental hardship and the 
sudden curve balls you get on the water, and certainly a "easability" with 
paddle and yak and navigational competance that is unmistakable. Not to be a 
judge of others but, my observations are usually accurate and have some 
weight of experience behind them..
