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 *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
