LOL Well Wilko......someone makes money selling "DRIP RINGS" ....but not
on
me or anyone I know.

innocent look Hey, I have some of those somewhere! :-)

Seriously though, I'm convinced that I lose more energy from cooling
down because I'm hanging upside-down in the water than from moving my
paddle. Boating comes so easily now that I doubt that takes much energy
nowadays.

We spent last week paddling in Slovenia, and I would be exhausted at the
end of a stretch of river, mostly from cooling down when doing stern
squirts, cartwheels or simply flipping when playing and not so much from
using my muscles so much.

The founder of Prijon, Tony Prijon is Slovenian, and he has opened a
Prijon testing centre in the town of Cezsoca, near the confluence of the
Soca and Koritnica rivers. I bet a lot of the pictures with the clear
blue-green river came from around there (Then again, they were all over
the world, so who knows?).

Anyway, that's where we were paddling this past week. If you like a nice
varied two week class II-IV trip, Greece at the end of April is also a
good choice. Mostly very clear water, beautiful gorges and incredibly
friendly people (very much unlike the tourist-hungry folks near the
popular tourist resorts!).

I'm still curious to paddle in South and Middle America and New Zealand,
but those destinations will have a to wait for a while...
