Yes thanks, we're both enjoying the (not-too-deep) depths of an Auckland
winter !

We're looking forward to the weekend, with a planned 40-odd club trip
leaders getting together for a self-help exercise. Everybody swots up a
topic and dispenses 10 minutes worth of 'golden nuggets' for the rest of the
gang to disagree with ;-) Usually have a lot of fun and occasionally learn
something in spite of myself ;-)

Thanks for the words of wisdom on the GP noises and the steps to correct
them. I'll be taking along my shorter paddle this weekend - just to see if I
can pin down what I'm trying to describe. I'll also see if I can implement
your suggestions with enough cunning to make the 'little' paddle behave for
me.

Natasha & I are in the thick of the group planning for our every-two-year
Coastbusters Sea Kayaking Symposium in Feb 2010. So if you know anyone who
deserves a nice warm break - to banish the Northern Hemisphere mid-winter
blues - point them at the Coastbusters.org.nz website. 

We do work on extending a warm welcome; but it's only fair to warn
prospective attendees that (on past performance) there seems to be a high
risk of them developing the desire to come back and do more paddling in the
neighbourhood ;-)

Best Regards
Paul Hayward, Auckland, New Zealand
