Boating Regulations Programs Clean Water Enforcement Club Fostered Stewardship Campaigns Irresponsible Jet Ski Use Pulp and Paper Mill Pollution Arctic River Protection Publications Hostile Waters Critical Judgment Contact ACA Donate to ACA: Most state boating agencies are under funded and they are constantly looking for ways to increase revenue. The potential funding from canoe/kayak registration is more than just the registration fees. Increasing the quantity of numbered vessels in a state increases a state's federal dollars from the Wallop-Breaux Trust Fund. In recent years state boating agencies have contended that registration will increase available data on paddlers and aid in the delivery of safety messages and services. Some state boating officials also argue that paddlers are not contributing "their fair share" to support the boating agencies. Why the motorized boating industry is pushing for canoe/kayak registration is less clear. Given the traditional focus of state boating agencies, an additional revenue stream into these agencies would likely benefit the motorized boating community.
Extractions: Released and presented at the Paddlesports Education Leadership Forum of the International Boating and Water Safety Summit (April 19-21, Panama City Florida), Critical Judgment II: Understanding and Preventing Canoe and Kayak Fatalities, provides two more years of canoe and kayak safety statistics. Although more statistics are needed, there are identifiable trends emerging, added Gordon Black, ACA Director of Safety Education and Instruction. "Kayaking is growing so rapidly that it is becoming a larger factor in accidents and fatalities," he said. "It is too early to say it is a trend, but in the last 9 years kayaking has grown 272% and more accidents are occurring, most likely due to a slower growth in specific types of safety education." Critical Judgment II concluded that most of this growth was in recreational kayaking marketa market not as likely to seek out instruction. Many accidents, the report concluded, involved casual paddlers using a canoe while fishing. These two examples of statistics in

We've already had a couple of weak systems move through California, and on again, off again showers are forecast for Northern California through Thursday. The MRF computer model suggest that on Wednesday, showers may reach as far south as the San Francisco Bay area on the coast, and Mammoth Lakes in the Sierra. We'll see. Today's CamPhotos are of Frank Wellbaum, Dave St. Aubin, Mike Ruehle, and Dennis Veale. While most of us have been whining about the low water on the Upper and Lower Kern, these guys have been out boating just about every weekend, and having a great time. After two days of boating with Frank, Dave and Dennis, Mike got so excited about the low water play potential that he purchased a Dagger Medieval!

Extractions: Photo Galleries Most of the photos in the galleries linked to this page were taken between 1993 and 1996 with a Pentax WR-90 and slide film pushed 2/3rd's of a stop (i.e., intentionally overexposed to compensate for all the white of the water). My home river is not a happy environment for a camera, however, and the WR-90 is no longer with us. The few photos featuring newer boats were taken with a Nikon N-70 in less challenging conditions. Pulling these photos together has gotten me excited about paddling photography again. Perhaps I'll buy another water resistant camera (and an extended warranty . . .) soon. For an excellent discussion of paddling photography and equipment, visit Bill Tuthill's page. To meet the guru himself on web design, web communities and all else that is good in the world, visit Philip Greenspun's homepage and the photography web community he created, photo.net And last but not least, there's some pretty nice stuff on the page put together by this auto body repair guy that used to come to my high school to give talks on his new hobby: Mountain Light . I gave a copy of this photo to my wife for Christmas back when his studio was still in my home town.
