Introduction

I have found great joy and relaxation in my kayak. I moved to the Nashville area 2/2010, and love living and working in the area.

Any paddling experience, even distant past? And in what - canoe, kayak, other?

Growing up did some simple canoe paddling, but have really enjoyed the kayak on lakes and rivers over the last 2 years. Since moving here I have paddled several lakes and rivers- great scenery and great people.

If you can do ?? after the lesson you will feel like your money was well spent.

I enjoyed my lesson and learned what to look for in a kayak.

What motivates you to take the lesson?

Educating myself. There are too many options in kayaks, and I needed good hands on educaiton.

What works best for you - evenings during the week, Saturday, Sunday? Please list all.

I can do evenings during the week, usually Wednesday is not available. If I am in town, Saturday works well, Sunday afternoon also works.

Additional Information

"I am married and live near Percy Priest Lake. I work for the agency of the United Methodist Church that promotes men's ministry and scouting ministry. "

What Gil Hanke is saying about this Meetup Group

I had a great time today. I learned a lot, and if I hadn't come I would have bought the wrong kayak. I can't wait to go with this group on a kayak adventure.

  • Hey Gill - that was a little odd. I got the message that your status changed to "going" (it always was going as far as I knew). Can't explain that, but you are good to go, got you on both lists as going and payment made, so you are all set. Looking forward to seeing you down there....

  • Hey Gil - I just upped the number to 50 and turned on the waiting list (I'm assuming a fairly high attrition rate, but if not, I think we can still handle it - parking's the main issue down there.) Sign up and plan on it - look forward to seeing you there. Mike
