Boats!!!

You know those days when you feel like singing "Oh what a beautiful morning...oh what a beatuiful day?" Well, Today was one of those days for the paddling duo. Even though the temps hovered around the mid 20's and we got a couple inches of snow, we could not be discouraged today....

Today, we visited Woods and Water Ectours owner, fellow paddler, and our friend Jessie Hadley in the Hessel, MI. We arrived boat less, paddle less, and skirt less, and we left with two gorgeous valley sea kayaks and the gear that will not only sustain us on our trip, but will make us look good too! Dana got a Nordkapp that was originally designed to paddle around Cape Horn and I got a 16 foot Avocet. These boats are made for lively paddling and expeditions and that is just what they will be used for.

Jessie also met with us to discuss other gear and safety items. We left her with a wish list and I think we'll be returning in the near future for some more fun. Thanks, Jessie, for all of your thoughtful help and expertise!

Have a great week!

Sean
