So you wanted
to take a break
Slow it down some and
have some space
Well f**k you too
Give me my money back
Give me my money back
you b***h
I want my money back
(And don’t forget to give me back my black T-Shirt)

So Kellie Kaneshiro captured this magnificent moment of my rolling demo in Door County a couple weeks back. This was in answer to Mark Pecot of 41 North Kayak Adventures who, as resident heckler asked the timeless question, “What did the Inuit use for nose plugs??”So I have to run to REI today to pick up a few last minute items. Especially that little filter do-dad for making coffee in the morning! tomorrow I go pick up my new Alaw Bach!! YIPPIE!!

Now on to the news. . . .

1. The Deadline for the IR vacation to Hell contest is coming up quick. Get your team registered right away. Deadline is August 17th.

2. Our friend Omer of Terra Santa in Israel will be instructing at Osprey kayaks in Westport, MA in August. They have a link but it was not working when I tried it this morning. But if you are in the area, catching a little time with Omer will not only make you a better paddler, but will aslo cause your hair to rejuvenate.

3. Thank you to everyone who donated to the Andrew McAuley fund over the last few months. That fund has now been given to Vicky and Finlay with the well wishes and support of all of us around the world.

4. Remember too that the “First Lower Columbia River Kayak Roundup” is coming up in August as well. The important thing to note here is that participation is limited to 60 people so if you want to go, you’ve got to get registered asap.

5. So I hope everyone got a chance to see the new Ocean Paddler Magazine. I didn’t of course! LOL! But Richard is sending my copy to PR for me. What a nice chap! Anyway there have been great comments about the magazine so far. So be sure to get your subscription. . oh and all you lurkers out there. . They have advertising space available yet for the second issue!!! Contact them at richard.parkin@masikpublishing.com

I think that’s it for the moment. Of course to all you guys out on the water, we’re thinking of you. Be safe, enjoy!
