This Saturday is the first Sound Rowers race of 2004. As official club photographer I'd like to poll members to see if there is much interest in getting movie clips from the race in addition

Yahoo groups ate my previous message. My personal web server (snorlax.lampi.org), which hosts the photos I took over the past couple of years of Sound Rowers events, had a catastrophic disk failure

Sounds like you had a great time! Just out of curiosity, since this was a social event, about how fast did most of the people go? It's been too long since I've been on the water. I'm in

Reivers: Sounds like fun! Here in Portland, our annual "Head of the Year" sort of fell apart due to icy roads and docks. The original plan included several single shells, 4's and a couple paddlers

It was a cool paddle on B'ham bay. A large clutch of W.A.K.E. (Whatcom Area Kayak Enthusiat) paddlers launched before the Sound Rower group for a hot meal across the bay. The Sounders headed out

At the other end of the spectrum are products like RegattaMaster ($329). (see www.regattamaster.com) This PC-based product is designed around managing rowing events, from a small time-trial event, on

I have two copies of the Rower's Almanac (2004-2005) put out by RowersAlmanac.Com available, courtesy of Maas Boats. They will go to the first two people who ask for them and either come and get them

I agree with Guy re: paddling with a water bag on your back. I also worry about being attached to my boat via a drinking tube that is held tightly in place (it also gets in the way for races with a

I paddle a Speedster which is hard to keep upright sometimes. These boats have a factory hatch between the legs. So I bought an extra hatch cover, drilled it to pass the hydration tube through and

Thanks for the info on the drinking systems, Guy. The prices seem quite reasonable. Do they make the water taste like plastic? Maybe next year I won't have so many water & juice bottles rolling

Hi, These folks have the pieces are parts that can be assembled to a nice drinking system: http://www.jjcanoe.com/index.html I had them make me a shorter version of their bite valve drinking tube.

On a similar note, has anyone rigged up a workable hands-free hydration system for use with their surfski (or decked kayak)? How do you keep the tube/mouthpiece near your mouth? Where do you put

This is more like it. I'm going after the booties and JL stuff you mention. I'm too cheap for dry-suit bottoms, but need something for the legs. Maybe just cheesy lookin' rain pants? RD

As primarily a year round ski paddler, I like the "fuzzy rubber" bottoms made by companies like NRS or wyoming wear. I was given a pair of the new Nike mid-height paddling booties, and they are very

For those owning Palm based hand-helds I see three applications that might work. The one that appears best is "PocketTimer" built by Stevens Creek Software. This is available from Handango for

By coincidence I was thinking about this subject just this morning. I have not competed with you all since I won a couple-three ribbons during the 93/94 seasons. I paddle a Mariner Max and wondered

I had expected a more lively discussion thread amoungst this group. Maybe I'll try going first. In the past, responses to my posts have been sent to my email which breaks the discussion off (no
