Re: [Paddlewise] paddewise ownership

I like the West Coast Paddler site and post there, but feel like an 
oddball cousin, as it seems geared to northern west coast paddlers. The 
worldwide scope of Paddlewise was part of its appeal to me. WCP is nice 
in at least you get an indication of how many people have bothered to 
check out your post, as often I feel like a tree falling in the woods.
Funny that just this morn, I noticed a post on WCP about sp*ns*ns and 
thought, "OK there they go!" Good thing Dave was there to warn them!
I own a pair and like to take them on crossings, but that's about it.
