The conditions for the race have been unexpectedly tough Lots of wind 
and the contestants are dropping out like flies. One even had to call 
the Coast Guard for help.

Hello Bob,
I note you are still in AK.  I thought you were planning to go South when your son went to college.....  Anyhow, good to see you are still active.
I had my third operation on my hip in October and things are slowly, very slowly returning to normal, alathough to date I havent been in a kayak for four years now - cannot bend my body sufficiently to get into a British kayak.  Nevertheless, enjoying the warmth of summer and even walked 20km to the top of the local mountain (1142m) on Tuesday.
I do hope your kayaing is going well with plenty of tours planned for this summer
Kind regards
Tony

Hi Tony,
yes we are still in Alaska and loving it. We decided to stay til our son 
finished college. Unfortunately he ran into some health problems and to 
make a long story short is still in college. I am close enough to 
retirement now that we plan to stay a few more years.
Hope you enjoy your walking and maybe can find a model kayak that is 
comfortable for you.
I plan a couple short trips in July mainly to check out the sea otter 
migration into our area. Hopefully the weather will cooperate

good hearing from you

Bob
