Waving Etiquette
I've really been enjoying your editorials in AK. When I started paddling we all waved to other kayakers, even if the kayak was driving by on a roof rack. This is a tradition I believe in maintain- ing!

Where we live out in the sticks, everybody waves as they pass each other on the highway—that is, until spring rolls around and we start driving around with boats. Then the locals stop waving because a kayak on the roof rack is like a giant sign that says “I’m not from around here.” But we keep on waving and eventually they clue in. With other paddlers it’s much simpler: If you pass anoth- er member of the kayak clan on the highway or the water, don’t think twice. Just raise the hand.
Good question, wrong magazine
I´m a kayaking guide in the Argentinian Patagonia. Can you send me a free copy of Sea Kayaker magazine?
Pablo A. J. Tomas Buenos Aires
We checked with our friends at Sea Kayaker about getting a free issue for you, but no luck. Good thing you can read back issues of this mag- azine online at
www.adventurekayakmag.com— even in Argentina. Isn’t technology wonderful!
Is Atlantic Coastal Kayaker still available? I have one of the first issues, but have been unable to track it in recent years. What is its history?
Chris Bavis Yarmouth, NS
Did you know that this is not Atlantic Coastal Kayaker magazine? No worries, you’ve come to the right place. We sent your question to our research department and discovered that Atlantic Coastal Kayaker still exists. In fact, they have an ad in this magazine on page 43!
CORRECTION Not-Quite-So-Great Slave Lake
Great Slave Lake is not the “third largest lake in the world,” as claimed in our last issue (“Lake of Two Skies,” V4 I1)—at least not by any conven- tional measurement. Depending who you consult, it’s actually the 12th largest by area and the 10th largest by volume, after the Caspian Sea, Lake Baikal, Lake Tanganyika, Lake Superior, Lake Malawi, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake Victoria and Great Bear Lake. But it looks really big when you’re there!
