Well after a quick discussion last week and another attempted baton passing, Dunaruna has handed the LadyFish weekly question task to me . . . Here goes:

[colour=blue]1) Where do you consider your childhood home and how far from there do you live now?

2) What is your favorite type of boating, river, lake or offshore and why?

3) Do you consider your spouse a positive, negative or neutral impact on boating?

4) In high school, would you’ve called yourself a soc, a jock, a partier, a nerd, gear head, bad boy (girl) or some other label? Any Homecoming Kings or Queens?

5) Where is the one place you want to travel to in your life that you haven’t yet?

1 Plymouth UK, 299miles

2 Offshore, the lakes and rivers in the UK are to restricted, having said that all of my boating this year has been on the river.

3 Before QC showed her the photos of his boating I would have said positive, but now I get nagged over getting a bigger, faster, newer boat and taking a holiday in the US. Both of which I can,t afford at the moment (cheers Kevin 8)8))

4 A bad boy jock

5 USA, Australia. I get the T shirt to Australia this year and the US in the next 2/3 years.

Re: This week's 5 questions . . .

1. Ashwaubenon, WI - I'm about 120 miles from there.

2. If I'm on the water, I'm happy... but I tend to like larger river boating best. I feel like I have a destination to go to on a river.

3. Positive. My wife loves boating!! I chose a good 'un.

4. Nerd - although I tend to prefer the term Geek.

5. I would like to see the Grand Canyon. When I see that, I'll come up with my next place.

Re: This week's 5 questions . . .

OK, for me:

1) Fullerton, CA and I am about a half hour away depending on traffic :|

2) Man, I don't know if I can even answer this one. I truly love them all, but there is something about rivers that seems to raise them to the top. I love to shut down and float in current 8)

3) Very positive. Was the final motivator for the first purchase and she has approved and pushed two upgrades. I want to transition to more offshore soon and this may be where she slows me down a little . . .

4) Partier, parking lot hanger-outer

5) Another tough one, I guess I am a masochist. Lately Alaska has been on my mind . . .

1) Baytown, Texas still live there, have moved many times, but came back 'home' to raise a family

2) Bay, cause there are plenty of fish, there are calm waves, and its close to shore if something goes wrong.

3) Positive, she loves to boat and fish and always nags me to buy a bigger boat. Maybe next year.

4) 40% band dork, 10% geek, 50% gear head

5) Australia, almost had it two weeks ago.

Definately a positive impact as we spend a lot of time coastal cruising sometimes hundreds of miles from home.

Re: This week's 5 questions . . .

Ok, Let's see

Childhood home--Seattle, Wa--now 2500 miles away.

Favorite boating destination ---Straits of Juan De Fuca, and Pillar Point and Tongue Point Specifically, with Freshwater Bay a close second..

No spouse now--at times positive-at times negative depended on the cycles of the moon, I suppose.

No category- A nerdy jock loner, I guess.
