I agree. This year has been filled with so much adventure and great paddles. The question is where to start? This past year was filled with winter paddling (thanxs to santa for bringing that dry suit). Traveling to so many spots with old and NEW friends, has made this year very special. Let's see, going through the log book I can see entries from Warren Island where I was introduced to camping in HEAVY RAIN, Thanks for that Neil S. Then there was the travel to, and around Brave Boat, Gerrish island and New Castle. Where I'm sure that the Coastie's on duty watching us were taking bets as to which one of the fools out in the Heavy fog, and 6 foot rollers would dump first. Oh, as a footnote...neither one of us did go swimming that day, although it was close on a couple occassions! Then there was the trip lead by Rob Hazard and crew to the MITA sponsored islands in the THICK FOG(...I'm starting to see a pattern developing). IT was this hearty group of paddlers that on one occassion took care of our stewardship duties on Crow and Bangs. They showed me how to understand a simple compass and map reading and translated it to our real situation. That and I learned on that trip what the term "speed bump" means in fisherman lingo. This area became a frequent return destination so much so, I also see log entires for a couple camping weekends on Crow and Jewell with Betty Anne. Then there were the NUMEROUS "surf sessions" on Tuesday nights with the crew (I'm not going to start with the names...you know who you are, I don't want to forget anyone.) I can honestly say they STILL should be posted as a little paddling with swimming involved! Over the summer they and a host of others transformed this newbie surfer, who dumped on a regular basis in 1 footers into a surf JUNKIE. Who at a moments notice and a phone call didn't think twice joining a select group who foolishly went to Jenness beach to surf the "Hurricane Bill" 8-10 footers! What was I thinking? All I can say is THANK YOU to everyone helping me this past year. Its folks like this, why I was deeply honored with the pleasure of receiving the "Traverso Award" at the Christmas party. BUT...I think one of the BEST experience's (as a DAD), was when my 18 year old asked to learn to paddle and joined me on kayak camping trips.....To have your TEENAGER WANT to spend time with her "ol man"... Priceless!!!!!! (Note to self! Keep teenage daughter AWAY from the board surfer dudes) If next year is as busy and fun as last year...WOW I can't wait. THANK YOU once again to all that gave of their time and knowledge to enlighten me over the past year...Be prepared, I've got a BUNCH more questions...Hmmmmm....Learning to roll seems to be on the agenda for the upcoming year. Have a great and safe holiday season to all...And I look forward to paddling with you all REAL soon. Frenchy

Ross, I was out there this morning from 9-noon, and if its anything like it was this morning, YOUR gonna have fun....COUNT ME IN! I'll meet you there. I'll be the one with the permagrin from this mornings rides. Frenchy

Has there been any determinations as to the final route? I will be in paddling in Biddeford, Me. Friday night and would be very interested in joining this excursion. (back to lurking)

Bill I still think it should of been posted as a "SWIM" not a paddle! I swear, I spent more time pouring water out of my cockpit than I did paddling....Thank goodness for the new rescue technique you got a picture of. Frenchy
