Well here it is, 2007. Wow, that kinda snuck-up on me. Happy New Year!
I am really happy about the new year but it started off with it's difficulties. First my family got real sick, some kind of flu bug, then I got it. I'm still recovering but it has sent me into a winter depression. So the logical thing to do is pray and go out paddling! I need a clear head to plan for the year. There is so much to do and not enough time and money to do it, so I really need some good planning to get a hold of the reigns of 2007. This year brings some scary and exciting things my way so a clear head and health will be real important.
This year I plan on pushing the local paddlers to excel and learn more than ever. I'm really looking forward to teaching more. There is only so much retail a guy can handle. I would also really like to hone the Up-River paddling crowd. There are a lot of paddlers that just don't know what they're missing and the river is the perfect place to get better and gain confidence.
I like the photo above, it was taken during one of our long Up-River paddles and we had to dodge rocks, rapids and fishermen. It's funny to see the looks we get "Going the wrong way".
Well, may we all go the way we want this year and may the obstacles be dodged with the greatest of ease. Here we go 2007, let's see what you can do!
