Hi All-

This year is the 12 +1th Annual Delmarva Paddler's Retreat in Lewes, Delaware.
I went last year for the first time and it was a fantastic weekend. They are now dedicated totally to Greenland style paddling. Greg Stamer was one of the instructors last year, not sure if he is going again this year. Also there was Kaleraq Bech and Pavia Lumholt form Greenland, and Harvey Golden as guest instructors. Add to that Charley and Cindy Coles and a number of others. With a lineup like that it's easy to see how impressive this event was.
The Retreat this year will be October 5th - 7th.

If you are interested, please contact Robin Snow at:

Maybe we'll see a few strip boats down there this year too.
I hope to have my Guillemot finished in time!

Later-

Jack Gilman
