Kindred Souls
Last evening I was invited to talk to a local Nordic ski club. I took my computer, a power point presentation and some odds and ends and headed over to where they were meeting. I recognized a few faces as fellow (and Karen, a gal) paddlers It was a most enjoyable happening for me. Being outdoor types, they already knew about weather and layering and sun block. They were, on the other hand, eager to hear about the history of kayaking and the possibilities of a sea kayak.
They asked wonderful questions about equipment and techniques that I had brought up during the presentation. They were particularly interested in this rolling thing we do. One gal even asked why we do it. Is it fun? Is it to show off? Well, yeah.
For me, it was like the actual beginning of the new season. The juices were flowing, and I was remembering how much I love this sport. Many thanks to them for inviting me.
Paddle safe...

Oh the possibilities for captions to those photos!
I love the pointer you're using in the first photo. It would also appear that the life jacket you're modeling might be a bit tight.....

Photos were taken by Karen...she made me look fat.Missed you, Vicki.
Oh yes, the pointer was an ancient Inuit pointer used at the very first Inuit Academy of QAJAQ Science :)
Watch those nordic guys, they'll have you out on those skinny skis before you know it.
