I'd pay for your opinion. Matt's - not so much (well, not for the 
watertrails opinions, anyway, as pertains to Canadian waters).

As for Nick's opinions, he was right on too. Funnily enough, Brian Henry of 
Ocean River Sports was on the local radio station afternoon talkshow the 
other day (I phoned in, in support) just after the big anti-marina 
development rally here in Victoria on the weekend. He said something that 
struck me as way-cool. He said one of the things we are put here on earth to 
go is to go out and do things like hiking and kayaking. I tend to agree. 
Marine trails are a necessary evil these days. So may the outhouses that 
will surely come one day be a compromise too.

I'm waiting on the Northwest Passage to melt up, personally.
