Thank you for the very interesting post. All that mother nature info really sounds like a blast. I love that kind of stuff. Go out on a lake where I live, get way on other side, in an inflatable....and not see it coming....and an Osprey dives into the water within 8' of you and takes a fish, and lumbers off flying with it up to a tree. Quite startling...but a real thrill seeing mother nature in live action. I would really like to experience the things you have. Looks like the better boat woud be a kayak. Guess I will have to start saving for one. I plan for in the future to try and find an RV spot in the Pacific NW to stay months at a time. Therefore learn the salt. Right now I am totally clueless.

Thanks again,
Jim
