This post makes me feel great about coming to Albion. Sounds like my kind of people open and will joke with a new member showing up.

Just leave your SeaHawks colors at home  :smt075  :smt005



Ed,

Believe it or not I think most of us have had very similar experiences that keep reoccurring over time. You just have to be open to it.
It's contagious  :smt007

Great post, Ed.   :smt001

I think the main reason that people who fish from kayaks are so cool (we ARE!) is because coming in to any new relationship within the club we have already shown credentials that say "this person knows how to get it done, be self-sufficient, and be aware of his or her own limits and capabilities".  If you are proficient on your own boat with all your own gear then others recognize that, and it's easier to befriend a person who is obviously not likely going to be a potential drain on your own energy and resources.

That's a little cut and dried and too over-analyzed, so I'll say this:  people in this club kick ass.  They kick ass!  I can tell you're one of them, Ed.  Hope to shake your hand at Albion, and maybe we'll get to fish together too.   :smt001

You take some great pictures Ed!  Glad you felt like part of a family when you joined your first event.  I think most of us feel the same way.

 I was greeted by this MEXICAN GANGSTER that recently got engaged and I quickly saw that this guy, though looking rather tough on the exterior, was a softy and truly knows what matters... his family.
