RE: [Paddlewise] Slow Paddling Year

I started the year kind of slow with just two paddles in 11 days, but then
went on a tear that had me thinking I could hit 150 days. The duldrums of
summer hit me hard as summer paddling isn't my favorite and I scaled my plan
down to 120. Now at 92 with the Holidays coming and the year ending fast,
come hell and high water I'm going to end the year at 100. Just seems a nice
round number.
I don't think a slow kayaking year can explain the lack of posts here this
year. I'm thinking posting just about every paddle I made here might have
bored people to other venues!

On another forum someone brought up the fact that this season was a slower
paddling year than usual. Now, I know that lots of paddlwisers
(paddlewisenheimers?) are not finished with their paddling season, but I
wonder if you, too, had a slow year paddling. I know several of my paddling
friends have complained of fewer opportunities for kayaking, too. I noticed
a distinctly lower traffic pattern here on Paddlewise this year. Even
stalwart trippers like the Rev are posting less. Does that reflect fewer
trips?
