This is my 10,000th post here on NCKA....

NCKA has been an overwhelmingly positive influence in my life, and while some people may think of the time I have spent in this online community as "wasted" I would disagree 100%.

I have gotten back WAY more than I have given/contributed....

Friendships, experiences, adventures, guidance, celebrations, highs and lows, the chance to help out others in need...

I've gotten the chance to paddle and fish and dive and party with some of the coolest people I have ever met anywhere...

People with names like Mooch, the A-Hulls, Fuzz, Zilla, Batt, AbKing, Bushy and many, many more....all people who I look up to and who I am grateful to for the times we have shared together.

Here are a few pics of some of my most memorable experiences over the past six years or so...none of which would have happened if I hadn't discovered NCKA.

THANK YOU to everyone on here for making this such a special place!

 :smt006

Sincerely,

Jim

Thanks for all you do...
