Joe,

That is great news. I've been wanting to learn more about Greenland style kayaking. It has been hard to find others in the area that paddle Greenland Style. I'm looking forward to learning as much as possible. Thanks for all of your efforts on the Rendezvous. I'll try to drum up some more interest from the skin-on-frame crowd through the Baidarka Mailing List. Maybe I can get Harvey Golden to show up and bring some of his native style skin kayaks.

: I had the opportunity to visit with Chris Cunningham this last 4th of July
: weekend while attending the Wooden Boat Show on Lake Union in Seattle.
: Chris just happened to have his kayak with him (imagine that!) and most
: graciously agreed to show me some of his greenland style rolls. Needless
: to say, I was thoroughly impressed with his knowledge and skill while
: performing. After a little arm bending (or rather pleading) I managed to
: get him to agree to present a greenland style rolling demonstration for
: the West Coast Wood Kayak Rendezvous this year in Port Townsend. If you
: have never seen a demonstration of this sort, you will be amazed with his
: skill and repertoire of rolls. For those of you who aren't familiar with
: Chris Cunningham, he is the editor of Sea Kayaker Magazine and he paddles
: as well as he writes!
