"Just breathe deep and relax. Remember, you don't have to kill them all in the first ten minutes. The villagers aren't going anywhere. Raping and pillaging is hard work, pace yourself. You might consider setting a building on fire first. Everybody likes a good fire, it'll cheer up the other warriors..."

2008 Canoecopia

Couldn't get another kayak this year (where would I put it?) but got a new hat and a new bright red PFD. Still ice on the lakes...

Kayaks are cool too

Picked up a Perception Carolina 14 at Canoecopia in 2007, like it very much.
