I got this email this evening. Well, things changed in a few weeks. Not long ago, I shared with you my deeply personal decision to retire and to close Rutabaga Paddlesports at the end of 2025. That message came from a place of honesty and reflection, and I am still moving forward with my...

Welcome to the forum. I once explored some tidewater creeks on a trip to Virginia. Lush and full of wildlife.

After thinking for the third time, "Surely this is the end of the rapids and lac Octavie will appear around the next bend," the water disappeared, leaving only that straight line that all voyageurs know, means a chute, a falls. I was so tired, so discouraged, and the span so narrow I actually...

I love Poland Pond. I've been to that beach with my daughter, and we paddled up that inlet. We camped on the island and worked on the Kamana for Kids workbook - a course for teaching kids how to be more aware of nature. Good memories.

My ex had one.

What is your ankle brace? My broken right ankle tends to roll on uneven surfaces.

This is what I wear: Merrell Moab These are my camp and portage shoes. There is a men’s version too. I’ve never found anything totally slip-proof. I spent a lot of time slipping, I mean walking, on wet rocks this summer. These “stuck” better than the water shoes or booties, when I used them.

Where is it? And I thought these things weren’t on display.

Google “mocha tea” and you will find lots to choose from, herbal and caffinated.
