Granted, and hopefully they listen to the advise, as Sparks apparent
has. I am not saying avoid cold, but avoid stupid! To quote Forrest
Gump, " Stupid is, as stupid does!"


I love being a newbie, because as a newbie, I can't make any mistakes
except not asking questions. The problem is that once I ask the
questions, and then go out and get some experience, I am no longer just
a newbie. At best I can be a wiser newbie, maybe a stupid newbie, and
hopefully not a dead newbie!

The worst scenario, is a bunch of newbies going off and doing the
newbie thing, and getting a dose of reality altogether when they were
altogether unprepared for that reality. TnT


Questions:

How many people die each year while sea kayaking?

What percentage of those are actually beginners?
