Hi Jane and Dave,
</div>=20
<div>
   it will be a leisurely paddle around the lake. The winds sh=
ouldn't be a major problem. We plan to stop at a local cottage for a mi=
ni-lecture by Don Gordon, Ph.D., on the ecology and history of the lake, an=
d then do the hike to Flat Lake. Finally a circumnavigation of the lake wit=
h a stop at one of the island campsites. I hope that you can make it. Cheer=
s,
</div>=20

Dusan, hi.  We=E2=80=99d like to get a bit more information abou=
t this excursion, if you could oblige.  We=E2=80=99ve been canoeing an=
d kayaking all our adult lives, but in a leisurely way.  Now, we=E2=80=
=99re in our early 70=E2=80=99s, and our usual paddle (canoe) is only 2-3 h=
ours in calm waters.  We haven=E2=80=99t been out yet this spring.
</div>=20
<div>
This trip sounds lovely, and we=E2=80=99re thinking perhaps we might =
be able to do a part of the day with you.  So, our questions:  We=
=E2=80=99re assuming the portage hike is to Flat Lake.  Is that correc=
t?  Are you planning to do that in the morning?
</div>=20
<div>
We=E2=80=99d like to take part in that hike.  So, could we join =
you for the paddle to the portage?  Then we could just make our own wa=
y back afterwards.  Are you planning to circumnavigate Cox=E2=80=99s L=
ake? 
</div>=20
<div>
If you are planning the hike for after lunch, perhaps we could just p=
ut in later in the morning and meet you  (although I expect the south-=
westerlies will have picked up by the afternoon).

Thanks in advance for your help.
