OT: Canoeing and/or kayaking

Anyone interested in paddling should go to www.paddling.net .  This is an excellent site with several features including lists of manufacturers, their boats and prices.  Their are numerous links.  One feature that I particularly like is the contests to win boating packages that usually contain a canoe or kayak along with paddles and other gear.  You usually have a choice of 3-4 packages to take a chance on and you can take a chance every day.  They also have reviews of travel destinations and product reviews.
