Title: Re: Match-making service Post by Wind-In-Face on May 2nd, 2013 at 12:49am
All,
I live so far away that 'Copia has never been a possibility. I would have liked to have gone and met some of you people. I've certainly read enough of your posts over the years. :) Well, in the spirit of this thread...here goes. Just read this entire thread, with great enjoyment. And irony. I just turned 60, and all my usual partners are no-go this year. Sons have obligations, buddies have obligations or health issues. I have dithered back & forth about going on another solo - I like it but also like the laughter/sharing of a group. Wife is not enthusiastic about the solo trip either; she won't veto the idea but she's understandably concerned about the safety factor. I have a solo boat and would consider joining a group of tandem paddlers or group solo, but I need to go in July or August. Old Salt's Kawnipi rendezvous sounded good until I saw it was in June. I could probably do just about any length up to 14 days. I'm not up for 30 miles and 15 portages a day, but I'm in good enough shape to paddle/portage every day. I can shut up or converse as needed, no offense taken. I can tolerate just about anything but whining. I don't require the choice tentsite. I have my own gear. I don't smoke but don't care if you do. I have been known to have an evening beverage or two. I refuse to debate politics or religion, but will talk sports as long as you like. I like photography. My fishing ability is pretty much limited to hooking the really dumb fish, but I do enjoy it. Never been to B-Dub, but been to Quetico via Prairie Portage at least a dozen times. If anyone out there is receptive to the possibility of a July or August trip with a new paddling partner, shoot me a PM and we'll maybe work something out. Well, now I know how it must feel to go on one of those singles match-making sites. WiF (Ken) |
