ASCII Art on Sea Kayaking

Copyright by Jackie Fenton... jf:-)

Jackie can be reached via email by sending a message addressed to jackie such as johndoe@paddlewise.net but substitute johndoe with jackie. The address is not displayed here to avoid web harvesting by spammers... which I really hate! :-/

I hope you enjoy viewing these original ascii graphics as much as I have enjoyed creating them. All images are of my own design and no part has been borrowed from any other works. Many of the ideas for these cartoons took on life as a result of discussions on the newsgroup rec.boats.paddle, the GASP! list, the Wave~Length and PaddleWise lists and through personal experiences (yup, I really did experience three dolphins jumping out of the water at once just off the bow of my sea kayak). It is my hope that these images may generate interest in awareness of our fragile marine environment and its wildlife as well as the wonderful sport of sea kayaking. Please note, all graphics are copyrighted and can only be used/reproduced with the creator's permission... and that would be me :-)

If you enjoy these ascii images, you might also like to check out my ascii art page on Mollie and her friends.

Enjoy!
