In Response To: Solo Paddling (Dwight)

I enjoy paddling with one or two other people for company. It seems like trying to find somebody with the same schedule as mine is difficult so I probably spend 90% of my time paddling solo and I enjoy it. I am more careful when paddling solo than when I am with a couple of other paddlers.

: After spending the summer introducing peoplel to the wonderful art of sea
: kayaking, I find myself relishing time alone in my boat. I don't know what
: it is, but I just love paddling alone. So far I've only done day-long
: trips solo, but I'm planning on some longer ones for the spring.

: Does anyone else out there suffer from the same affliction I do? I would love
: to hear other's philosophies, and reasons for why they go it alone. Oh,
: and you staunch, always-paddle-in-groups, realist-safety advocates who
: would love to smack some sense into me, I'd like to hear from you too.
: Give me some reasons not to go explore Superior on my own this summer.

: Hope to hear from you guys soon.
