Something's been bugging me. I use Prof Paddle quite alot and am grateful for the quality content and people I've met on the various paddles I've been on. That said, there must be a cost to it. I'm a cyber dunce, so I simply have no idea what it all entails. However, my question is, who bears this cost out, whatever it is? When I go to church they pass the plate, but Professor Paddle, to my knowledge has never asked me to chip in to a resource I pretty much use alot. Is Professor Paddle a trustfunder? ; )

well put Tobin!

James,

Thank you all for the kind words. I hope we can all continue to build our community through this and other resources so a future generation of boaters can take over with a passion and ability to access the same amazing water and friends that I have had the ability to paddle with.

Tis true that it is not free, but I feel blessed to have the ability and job to pay for the requirements and more importantly the friends that support each other and myself. Thanks! I look forward to paddling in 2009 and more importantly bringing new members into our community to share in our passion!
