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 one el

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 $50.00

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 w

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

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 doi

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 of th

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 ea

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 to whatev

Micheal, These are wonderful movies and photo's. But the movies are download hell. I have broadband (cable modem) and it takes a long time to load. Is there a better way to view them? In the past I've
