I went through the photos from this year and plastered them into a rudimentary calendar for December 2003 through December 2004. To make things easier for people I saved each month as a JPEG

At the annual meeting Jeff Knakal brought out some work he had been doing with Excel spreadsheets to help make life easier for race directors to get their job done. I did not get a chance to get a

If so, please pass his info along to me. Or, if you'd rather, feel free to share my email address with him. Thanks! Mischa Burnett

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
