When I was out in the San Juan Islands this past summer, my paddling partner took a picture of me playing in an eddyline out in front of our camp. I later scanned the image, and then I scaled it down and made it black & white for a simple little icon to be used on a web page. I let the Florida Sea Kayaker's Association list it on their website with the other kayak clip art. Well, it turns out it was also used in an advertisement in Sea Kayaker!

In the latest issue of SK, look on p. 26 at the ad for the S. Jersey Canoe and Kayak Classic; the icon is in the center of the ad on the bottom left hand corner. I'm not easily recognizeable, but it's me. My partner was excited too, because now he is a "published photographer"!!

Speaking of magazines, did anyone see this month's 'Paddler'? In the article about the Sea Kayak World Championship races, there was a photo of the group start (p. 52 - IIRC), and the kayak in the left-center of the photo looks suspiciously like an Expedition Single--anybody know who's paddling it?
