I've been waiting patiently to read about paddling and touring trips.
Really tired of this other subject that keeps popping up.
Let's hear about water sports...
I'm a canoest, and seakayaker...and want to read and talk about
that...isn't that why we signed up here? If not let me know, and I'll
unsubscribe and move on...
Let's give it a go..eh?
Shall I say, "You first." or "Bub bye now." ?
Instead of whining and threatening to deprive us of your, possibly
otherwise nice, company, why don't you tell us what and where you
paddle and what's good or bad about it?
All I paddle are a canoe (rental the last couple of years since I gave
away my stipper) and a recreational Old Town Otter kayak and (when I
lose 5 more pounds?) an old Perception Dancer that I use like a
recreational kayak.
I do them on lakes and the St. Croix River in MN/WI. Like them all,
Lke the places except that too many other people in canoes like the
'Croix on warm weekends. But the backwaters remove most of the
aluminum hatch from sight and sound.

Nice to know there are others out there with a Dancer that is a little snug.
It takes everything that boat has to keep me afloat. I have removed the
plastic bit under the front combing edge and that gets me into the thing. I
was somewhat worried that I would not come out in a wet exit but when the
time came, it came off like a good pair of pants. I love the looks I get
when I show up with it. I'm 6' 1'' and about 275-285 depending on what I had
for breakfast ; and most people where I go have huge canoes and are shocked
that I am actually going to go out in my "little" boat.
