It's just too bad it's still too cold to even go kayaking right now. The lakes are still frozen...lol.

Best Mil Surplus: We will be having some pool sessions in February and March, so come out to the conference and then sign up for a pool session.

They're a great way to learn safety/exits without getting all muddy/lake watery.
