We got a bit of rain this weekend and I'm still thinking of going out paddling today. Its not much of a rain, really...more of a mist, ya know? I just really want to get on the water.

I was talking to a guy at work about kayaking and he expressed an interest in getting his family out to do some camping and perhaps do some paddling. I suggested a large canoe for him and his family and we talked about various area to camp. I loaned him a magazine with lots of good starter info and a few websites where he can go and reserve camp sites in the local area.

I hope he and his family eventually plan a trip and have a great time. Who knows...if he really gets into it, I may even have a kayaking buddy I can go with to scout out new launches and maybe even put in a tandem entry for next year's Trinity River Challenge! Its always a good thing to get new people interested in paddling. Its good for the sport and a great way to make friends.
