WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?

Attend a symposium around here and you're likely to come upon a scene like the one above. Surfers? No, those are kayaks upon which they sit. On a break? Well, kind of...and what are they looking at? They are looking at Kelly Blades, also a fixture around our get togethers.

(please no crude comments here)

A strong paddler with a dynamic presence, this guy is a clown. No, seriously, he once attended clown school, and he knows how to have fun with a boat and how to get others into it. His getting to know your boat sessions are always filled with laughing paddlers who seem to never find their way into their cockpits. So, if you come upon a sight like this...

look to see if Kelly isn't in the group before you call the coast guard.

Paddle safe...
