: While I know this season for us northern people isn't exactly exciting
: paddling wise, there was like no traffic on this forum today? Everyone out
: paddling maybe?

Then again not everyone is north of the equator. Nice sunny, light wind days. A short training session yesterday for the neighbour who had just bought a new kayak and never paddled before. Used her overweight husband for the capsize and recovery demonstration - always make sure the decklines are loose enough to get a hand round them!

Gale warnings, heavy rain and it snowed on the tops over night, sat outside in the sun at lunchtime admiring it today. Should have been out paddling but tree planting got in the way - and I don't think any of them will ever be any good for kayak building :-(
