Re: [Paddlewise] shoulder exercises for paddling

Doug,

You made me smile. :)

I wish you could see my shop... I have pulleys in the rafters and can pull
18' kayaks straight up and store them vertically with the sterns sitting on
a nice block of styrofoam. Really makes it great for storing extra boats.
Not that I have any extras, mind you. :P

Hope that new treatment is doing the trick for Yvonne. I seriously miss
reading about your extreme paddling adventures on Paddlewise. I am trying
to talk Pam into a weekend paddle trip into the San Juans this summer but
she keeps saying that she has to work... for some reason.
