Although the posts are quite old, I still believe in learning more about retirement. But for right now, there is a project that I have been working on for a number of years. In 1986 I attempted to paddle a kayak to Alaska. Although a failure, it was a success on a different level. I will get into the nuances of why it was a failure yet still a success at a later date.
Today however, I need to let you know that my sons and I are leaving to catch a ferry, which will take us to Alaska. The goal is to paddle the 700 + miles back to Bellingham, Washington. In kayaks. Living in the wilderness for 7+ weeks. Going at a glacial speed of about 3-6 miles per hour....
So stay tuned and I will update this as time (and internet connections) permit. In the mean time, you can watch us in real time over a GPS connection Where in the world are the Dancing Otter Paddlers?
For those of you on Facebook you can find pictures and progress of the entire project (except the actual voyage) here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1739977849585449/
Well that is it for now. I have to finish packing (thank goodness for check lists!) Tomorrow will be a long day.
