Oh. Sorry David.

Not really a problem, I don't think anyone noticed.

Ah well , Its over now. You still have open water.

Not today I don't, the canal is frozen & I don't do icebreaking in my
boat.

This should be a busy news group.

True, but unfortunately some posters are/were very intolerant of
other
people's opinions, and rather than agree, disagree, or ignore those
opinions, they went elsewhere to a place where dissent is not
permitted.
Meanwhile a few of us read what few postings there are, rarely
bothering
to reply.
I would be quite happy to see more postings, but that requires more
posters willing to post.
I still post occasionally, mainly so the lurkers know someone is
still
here keeping an eye on the old place, and trying to keep the
standards
up. ;-)

Anyway, Merry Christmas!

David
Not a fan of the humourless departed.

Not to worry. The Kayak Newfoundland and Labrador news group serves
atotal population of under a half million and only a couple to five
hundred do much paddling. It is the spot though and the news group is
active as all get out.
Your news group will turn around or will possibly be replaced perhaps
by something moderated.
The trouble with that is postings looking for paddles take for ever to
show up, often after you get back from a nice trip or the next day.
Thos one is pretty quick
Anyway all the best with it all in the UK. There should be lots of
lochs open. I am from Scotland ( long time ago ) the Gareloch never
froze with the exception of a skim at Gareloch Head.
Anyway. Good Luck.
