Yes, thanks for the reminder. I attended the Castine kayak symposium in 1998 and 1999. The first year I took a two hour class with Derek Hutchinson where I learned how to brace. It made a huge impact on my skill level. The next year I took a class with Chris Duff which focused on an efficient forward stroke. Again, my skills improved significantly. But, the Saturday night lobster dinner was something I'll always remember. I'm going to be just across the bay (in Owls Head) for a weeks vacation at the end of the month. We may head over to Castine for a day trip. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
