For some time now I've wanted a web site for some of the Paddlewise posts I've written over the years. This week I created www.nwkayaking.net for that very purpose. It's still a work in progress but some of the posts (like "Getting Along with Eddy" and "The Workout Boat") are already up and readable. Well as readable as I can get them, anyway. Next will be to finish the Mothership mini-book and put that on the web site.

Congrats on the site/blog Craig. With your writing readily available, it will be a good resource young man.

Thought it was more of a bit of a rant...:-) BTW, I quoted a line from City Slickers previously. I Goggled it and see the quote was off a bit: Curly: You know what the secret of life is? Mitch: No, what? Curly: This.(Holding up one finger) Mitch: Your finger? Curly: One thing. Just one thing. You stick to that and everything else don't mean shi(p). Mitch: That's great, but what's the one thing? Curly: That's what you've got to figure out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2k1uOqRb0HU For me, I enjoy gnarly water and the _one thing_ for me I'm passionate about is making sure I have a fighting chance (Chuck's term) to get myself out of whatever I might get myself in to while paddling as "avoidance" is a notion that blurs when one seeks out interesting hydraulics and conditions. So I don't give a shi(p) what recommendations I might read or hear about from experts of any particular persuasion, I have to go and figure out what is going to work for me. Rafael has that figured out for him. Guess that was my point. As for your blog, I'm grateful. You came on like gangbusters on the various paddle chat lines the last few years and haven't let up with your pithy, well-thought-out advice and ability to share a wealth of maritime knowledge contexed for paddlers. Thank you Craig. Stay young and healthy. You made your mark in my life. Overall, the sport and many of its fascinating, even its instructive life-lesson parameters have been better defined with you around offering your wisdom and penmanship - both bandwidth wise and in print.

Some of the things you've done scare me just to read them; which is a measure of how well you write. We were all pretty damn worried about you a couple of years back and it was a great relief when we knew you were still going to be around. No one stays young forever, of course. With luck, however, we can remain immature a lot longer than our wives are comfortable with. :D Thanks Doug. I wanna be just like you when I grow up.
