initial kayak impressions
(William R. Watt) typed:
on the topic of lessons, there's been quite a heated debate in the local
Ottawa paddling newsgroup ott.rec.canoe-kayak. I'm on the "no lessons" side
of the discussion.
That's fascinating. Would you mind posting some of the rationales for
deliberately attempting a difficult and mildly dangerous activity
incompetantly? I'd be really interested to read about 'em.
Personally, I am sooooooo grateful to those (the late Roger Corbett
first amongst them chronologically, and Bob Foote first amongst them
in terms of skill and professionalism) who taught the classes I took
almost annually for ten years. The fact that I now border upon
skillful has *so* enhanced the enjoyment I get from boating!

OK, OK; computer programming for scientific research also matters.
