Good evening I've been watching and reading this site for a while. Iam from putnam county new york and do most of my paddling in the adrondacks. For the past few year I've been mostly paddling a hornbeck new trick 12'. I've been paddling and playing in the water since I was young. I also have a esquif prospector 15' a ll bean kayack and a Chesapeake light canoe that i made years ago. For the boat builders out there i certainly admire you're skill and patience. I would love to build one my self. With the hornbeck I've been able to do some cool exploring in a awsome park. So thanks for listening and I hope to be able to contribute to the group thanks. Pat
