Introduction
I love kayaking. When I'm not doing it, I'm thinking about it. And I'm always looking for new kayaking partners.
What types of water do you like to paddle? (flatwater, rivers, open water, whitewater, etc)
The first 3, flatwater, rivers, and open water.
What skill level are you? (beginner, intermediate, advanced)
More than beginner, less than intermediate (is that vague enough?).
Do you own your own boat(s), and if so what types?
Hurricane Expedition 128 for quiet water; Hurricane Tampico 140L for more open conditions.
When are you normally free to paddle?
Weekends.

alan replied to a discussionWeekday paddle next week?
"Just wanted to touch base. Are you still interested in Island Beach (or somewhere else- I'm open to suggestion) this week? Just checked the weather, and it looks to be pretty hot for the entire week. Anyone else interested also?"

alan replied to a discussion (latest of 3)Pick - Up Paddle this weekend
"I once paddled it in a Necky Manitou 14. You could do it, but shorter would be better. It's rather twisty to begin, but opens up after a while. Gets to be rather marshy. I could be there at 9:30, but 10 would be better if that's okay...."

alan replied to a discussionPick-Up Paddle ....... Saturday
"I paddled there a few weeks ago. It started out just fine, but after we crossed a dam, it was horrendous for me. Lots of small spaces to negotiate with the current pulling you along...."
