Kayak's First Accidental Roll!

The kayak on the cart we are modifying, at Saturday Night Cove.

So who is the winner of the pool on when Deb will first dump in the new kayak?  Not so fast folks...

Starting to Panic...

Just some of the electronics for the expedition.

So little time left.  So much to do!  Starting to panic...

What others are saying about the expedition...

Joey Schott, the design wizard, and Deb before putting the kayak in the water for the first time.

Here are links to a couple of a couple of articles about the expedition.

Deb in the kayak Joey redesigned!

For those of you who are into the nitty gritty of boat building, check out Joey Schott's blog about all the design challenges in turning a sixteen year old Chesapeake Light Craft kayak I built (and almost completed) into my ideal expedition kayak.  He describes this as: "An ambitious project, perhaps the most challenging to date of my building career."  

Another Expedition about to reach it's final goal!

Eric Larsen and Ryan Waters are skiing pulling their sleds, even swimming at times, for an unsupported expedition from Ellesmere Island to the North Pole.  You can follow the final push to the pole by the Last North Expedition at:

They are using the Delorme inReach satellite communication system to automatically generate these maps.  We will do the same for the Kayak For Safe Passage Kids expedition.

Paddles, fears and phones

The three paddles I tried today, as the dark weather rolls in.

First day with the new kayak on the water in Maine.  Great fun trying out three different paddles.
