Hey Brian,
I have a lot of respect for the club's officers and membership. Thank you all for everything you've done and are continuing to do to make our club top notch.
I like the idea of a nice decal. It's good to see many of the different designs. I especially like Eric's oval. Every once in a while I like to stir the pot a bit. No malice towards anyone, just friendly teasing.
The boating skills and seamanship class I took in Maine a few years back was awesome. Although it was not at all specific to sea kayaks, it helped advance my skills as far as navigation, rules of the road, aids to navigation, charts, knots and understanding how power boaters think. So I would be interested in stuff like that.
Everyone I have spoken with that took Ben's class was very happy with it. It's great to see stuff like that as well.
Thanks again for all you do Brian.
Jim
