greetings to fellow paddlers

Hello, My name is Larry, nome de guerre of Lance Hunter. I was asked to participate in this forum by Ray after he saw my posting on Craigslist. Ray, thank you for that. I have over 30 years paddling experience in all sorts of human powered craft. Iwas first and foremost a canoe fanatic but since have started to kayak and am registered in New York state as a whitewater rafting guide. I have paddled almost all the local streams and quite a few distant ones as well. The master plan calls for doing the WildWater Derby in Shortsville, NY on 4/25-6 this year and the Yagotta Regatta on 5/1 down in Salamanca, NY. I also do crew rowing for Crosscurrents Crew out of Rochester, NY and our first regatta is on 5/29 in Pittsford, NY. I have done outrigger canoeing at the Genesee Waterwways Center with the "AlohaBoys" as part of the diabled veterans reacclimation program for 2 years now. Sorry to sound like a blowhard but if I tell you what I do then maybe you might have questions of your own. I don't mind leading trips but will go on them as well. Happy paddling and hope to get out with you soon.

Hi Larry, thanks for joining! Look forward to seeing you out there.
