We're running around Florida doing a sampler paddling /biking / car camping trip.. So far I have met up with a BWCA ,com member.. ( thank goodness for those bwca.comstickers He had the misfortune to having to rent a plastic kayak as he didn't want to drag his canoe from iowa. ( maybe a possible fundraising suggestion?) Had a nice long breakfast and a lovely ambling paddle around an offshore island..
Felt bad for Ben His kayak was terribly outfitted and wretchedly painful.. He was so polite.. we offered him to trade for a while ( we had a Rapid Fire and a Nomad) and he demurred stating something about that was a risk of going home with one of our boats....LOL
Loading up at Turner River yesterday Joel David Beckwith happened to stop by.. between guiding trips.. We spent three hours just yakking.. No beverages involved either! I learned a little more about Mr. Mike Mc Crea... ( nothing bad mind you). Sharing memories of trips.. How time flies
I sometimes get to talking to total strangers on portages too . No wonder they take a little longer.. But are quite rewarding because of the conversation sometimes
Joel is one of those guys who really found the right career for him. He loves what he does.
But tourism is down in Florida and so are clients to guide.. Theories I have but politics here are a no no.
And you? Do you meet old and new friends on trips?
