Default Does anyone come here to talk about boating?

I still have an rbp shirt somewhere.

Maybe we need an rbp Facebook page to get with the new times?

The WWW is all fine and dandy, but think about how well we used to do with just simple text! Usenet! not a binary newsgroup either. I bought a gently used Kokatat drysuit from an individual here years ago, argued incesantly with Scott Weiser, berated Corran Addison and Riot kayaks for their limited color choices, etc! Great fun!! :-)

Let's take this group back then!!


Anyone remember "Melissa"? I copied a post she made circa 11/14/2003:


"I went paddling today, and looked around at the familiar scenery.
Each time something came into view, my mind presented me with a word.


Yes, that was a poem entitled "To Where Nothing has a Name", by Melissa
Reese. She also posted, either here or Paddlewise, several others, "Random
thoughts in search of a navigator", "Sings My Heart".

It seems she may have been the one to add interesting ASCII artwork to her
posts.

Also, do you remember Rev. Bob Carter, who was a Presbyterian minister in
Alaska, and wrote the wonderful stories about his adventures in paddling? I
have quite a few of those. Think he posted most of those to Paddlewise, a
bulletin board, which may still exist in html form. I have quite a
collection of those and my searching never did turn up a book he had written.

This group is 90% spam and 10% people complaining that nobody talks about
boating any more. And 0% people actually talking about paddling.

Per John Kuthe:
I see tons of SPAM posts for ostensible test textbooks!! Or some crap!

Nothing like the RBP of olde!! Scott Weiser posts, and of course that psycho who shall not be named! Oh, and actual boating posts as well!


I see 3 of those spams between 12/4/2015 and 1/3/2016.

Before that, the last posts I see are a "test" on 21/2/2015 and a reply
to "Just thought I would rephrase and try again....." on 9/27/2015

Yeah, looks like you and I are the only surviving RBPers!! I still have an RBP sticker on the back of my helmet! We are old school!

The logo was pretty cool. Was up at scout camp last weekend and went canoeing
in aluminum canoes (forgot how heavy those Gummans were). Wasn't bad though
when we got into cool parts of the lake and the bottom of the boat chilled.
