Tony Ford sent us the following: Hello, I am unable to send the message below to the nyckayaker and paddlewise nets - perhaps you could send the message on. Thanks There was an article in the December 2010 issue of Sea Kayaker on the history of sea kayaking. In Britain, that history goes back to the 1860s when the English Channel was paddled and sailed, and from that time on sea kayaking has been a feature of canoe sport. A short history has been written by Oliver Cock for the British Canoe Union, and this can be downloaded from the Net - dont ask me the address, but I could look it up. Dont forget when dealing with Stateside canoeing, the ACA meets at various coastal locations which were attended, from time to time, by British participants - most of this was canoe sailing, but if one is talking of canoeing history, then one cannot ignore such participation. Will add more if you wish Tony Tony Ford [tford_at_web.de] *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
