This is a blog for thos
e special people among us who boat, and to inspire those that hope to.
If you enjoy seeing pictures of beautiful places that can be experienced via kayak, canoe, raft, or any other paddled craft for that matter, then you'll enjoy this blog.
I will post about adventures I'm having, the people I meet along the way, and will attempt to illustrate why it is that we boaters spend so much time, money, and effort in pursuit of our next paddling opportunity.
For my first post...
Here is just a sample of what Oregon has to offer...I think you'll see what brought me here.
From there I'll post just a sample of some of the places that boating has taken me the last couple seasons before I started this blog.

Great pics, Paul. Definitely looking forward to getting out there in December. Maybe one year, I'll come there when it's warm.

This is some distant friends, john and kathy vosevich. we probably have not seen you since your dad's funeral, we used to have some good times with your parents and you two, we are not in Indianapolis and your mom keeps us posted on the going on's of you and Erika. Greg and Sarah are also here in Indiana both have families and are doing fine. Now what you are doing is amazing and we just love the pictures and will check in again to keep up on your adventures. you are truly seeing some of the most beautiful scenery ever and looks like Kayaking is your thing.
Paul-
It is ALWAYS a pleasure to view life thru your eyes. Like I said before, "you inspire us all to follow our dreams"!!! Yours have lead you to Scotland. If a man can say so "I'm proud of you"
Thanks so much for always being THAT GUY. Stories to continue....

P.S. Have Fun
Good stuff here! Thanks for sending me the link. I posted about your new blog on the Werner blog. http://www.wernerpaddlesblog.com/blog/2008/10/werner-paddle-1.html
Keep it up!
Great photography - thanks for sharing the landscape. It's so cool to read of your adventures out there. Some of us live vicariously - at least on some of those drops! You make it look easy.

Thanks Paul for the great photos and narrative. Although I learned to paddle in Oregon and was "bred and buttered" in Belfast, your travels in Scotland made me homesick. Take care, looking forward to the next pint with you.
PS. We rarely drive on the wrong side of the road but we do drive on the other side:)
My arm's in a cast so please excuse my keyboarding and short email.
This looks great!
Let me know when you return so we can discuss the hi and low points of paddling
Cheers, Russ
Paul-the photos of Scotland are stunning! What an adventure! Congrats on the Coach 3. Looks like 5*sea award will be showing next year! Will stay tuned!
