Hi Bruce - Glad you got a boat. I was a little worried when I read the title of your post - thought you'd be cooking up some exotic new kind of meat for next year's Fish-In! If you feel like driving down this way, the place where I work does an introductory class in kayaking for $15. You get all the equipment supplied to you (including a 'YAK), and they'll teach you the basics in a few hours. That's a whole lot better than becoming a "human keel" on your first trip! Lemme know if you're interested, and I'll go through the class with you....Ed
P.S. - I'm buyin' on this offer - gotta take good care of the cooks!
