Got to paddle on Easter Sunday as soon as the wind dropped, four foot and clean. I kept most of the wet snow out of my dry suit, and the sun even came out when the snow stopped.
About the only Hyperlipidy aspect was that there doesn't appear to be a fall off in endurance ability with lack of practice. Paddled for about two and a half hours and could have carried on but the surf was dropping with the rising tide. The reflexes and muscles still work after what must be two years off of the surf...
What do you do with five days off line? Well, Nick Lane's "Power, Sex, Suicide" has been a very interesting read. Well over half way through it and it makes a great deal of sense.
Lots of catching up to do!

But no adrenaline surge here.........

Chainey,
ReplyDeleteThat looks like an interesting discussion, I can't get the real player file to load. Any hints? I've got Realplayer 10 for Mac OS X and I've tried accessing with Safari or Firefox. No joy

Seconded about VLC - when others fail, it seems to come through (and it works fine for me on a Mac)...

ReplyDeleteThanks Chainey. I read a transcript of this discussion with Walford and De Vany. My favorite lines was when the host, Robert Lawrence Kuhn PhD, told Art De Vany "You're just lucky because you picked good parents."
ReplyDeleteHere's a transcript for those who have trouble with the video.
Nick Lane also wrote an earlier book entitled, Oxygen, which is complementary to Power, Sex, Suicide. I would recommend it also.

Hee hee, I though you might. No more books allowed on the pile until it shrinks a bit (not finished PSS yet!)
ReplyDeleteThanks
