| - | Several years ago Greg Barton used to show up for our Wednesday night paddles. On this particular Wed. it was blowing really hard from the South and no one was there when I showed up. I was still paddling the Victory (the one the Ryler paddles) and decided I could use a little rough water drill. Besides, I just thought, hell … it's a lake. What's the worst that can happen? | + | Several years ago Greg Barton used to show up for our Wednesday night paddles.

| I had a lot of trouble carrying my boat, had second thoughts, and had put it back on the rack when Greg showed up. talked to him a bit and he said, just go into it, then surf back. Do a few runs 'till you're tired, then pack up. His attitude was calm and I got the sense that he didn't mind keeping one eye on me. So I went for it. He was looking at me close at first, then he blasted off toward Strawberry point. I struggled until I got pooped, turned it around and was thinking: "yeah, me and my buddy Greg. Wait till I tell the guys that weenied out." I did two more to windward, and that last time I was hammered flat. That's when I noticed that I was wobbly and couldn't focus. | I had a lot of trouble carrying my boat, had second thoughts, and had put it back on the rack when Greg showed up. talked to him a bit and he said, just go into it, then surf back.
