The Kayaking Part of the Equation.

I started kayaking in 1970 and have had a privileged view of the planet from the seat of a kayak.
The heyday of expanding my limits in kayaking was in the 1980's and Christa Frasers story in the AdventureSports Journal captures the esscense of those days quite accurately.

I still love exploring and get in a couple of good trips each year. Here is a link to a video and some photos from an exploration with Outside Magazine's Grayson Schaffer this past February-March 2007

If you are curious for more on my kayaking history you can check out part of a presentation that I did in 2005 at the Taos Mountain Film Festival. "35 years of kayaking in 35 minutes".

I think that the title *35 years of kayaking in 34 minutes* is just about the best title for a presentation that I've ever read. I'd go see that in a heartbeat.

Just great, the pictures,landscapes,etc. the video was beautiful, too. I turned off the tv and watched it and listened to the sound of ice hitting the kayak and the sound of peace and tranquility.
Again, just great.

Regards
