BC. near victoria; but i travel to nova scotia and paddle in
newfoundland every chance i can. crossing the island is an increadible
drive over so so roads but newfoundland two years ago was the height of
my paddling career so far. i will be back there this summer. work takes
me to windsor and lunenburg nova scotia. i hope to paddle with scott
cunningham out of algieres, check out the bras d' or lakes ( sorry
about the spelling ) and then head to cape bretton and the island of
newfoundland. i have a friend that promises whales and has never failed
yet. he says there are no ice bergs this year. pity..
i can borrow a boat from a friend there.

I am apparently operating under a different definition of planing ;
while surfing the water line and displacement of the boat changes
fairly drastically on my boat and is out the window on the little surf
boat. when is skimming on the surface not planing in the case of the
flat bottomed thing and my capellas lifting noticeably. granted my boat
never got to skim with air under it but as a bicycle flies of a ramp it
flies for a second. can't do it at will but the odd time it is in the
air.
i am going to ask about that planing thing, i may be using bad
terminology.
