Girl Power in Kayaking!

This article reminded me I was an accidental early leader in the semi-nude paddling movement. 

Recycled Kayak: finished and fast!

Imagine the perfect expedition kayak made almost exclusively out of parts of old kayaks and left over scrapes from other boat building projects.

Finding my way from Maine to Guatemala

How will I navigate from Maine to Guatemala?  Will I use a GPS?

Kayak nears completion!

Lots of clamps holding the cockpit coaming on while it sets.

I'm so excited as my kayak, being custom designed by Chesapeake Light craft, nears completion!   I get to see it in person for the first time this weekend!

The homes of the families in the garbage dump community

The last post was about the tent that will be my home for the year while I kayak from Maine to Guatemala.  Thinking about that made me think about the homes of the families in the garbage dump community.

The Hilleberg Staika tent has arrived!

I now have a home for the expedition!

Here's where the expedition will start!

Yarmouth Town Landing

Looks a little bitter cold now, but once spring arrives and the ice melts the Yarmouth Town Landing will look more inviting for kayaking.

They say we're on the magazine cover...

Children of Safe Passage

Is it an April Fool's joke?
No.  Check out the April 2014 edition of Atlantic Coastal Kayaker.  The cover story is about the Kayak for Safe Passage Kids expedition.  You can read it on our website under the Media buttton: Atlantic Coastal Kayaker Article

Well, actually, it is a little slight of hand, as the cover photo is generic kayakers - a photo the editors choose to represent our expedition.

Enjoy!
