Re: [Paddlewise] [CKF Info] Dana Pointless

Mark,

Nice trip report.  I enjoyed it thoroughly.

I'm always amazed at the latent talent we have lurking in the CKF 
membership.  As a sales manager, Duane could bankrupt a kayak business 
faster than anyone.  And if Ken was put in charge of recruiting new members, 
we might end up with a population that actually paddled together because 
there wouldn't be enough left to spread out.  I imagine that if this roast 
were to be continued, there could be many more hidden "talents" revealed.

Funny thing though, I feel right at home with everyone in our club.  I 
couldn't hope for a better group of friends.

Patrick
