Recent playlist on my MP3 player:  I’m still trying to kick the “black crack” aka vinyl records habit.  Most likely it will be something with a little thump in it.
Best day of paddling ever:  Just one, I have had too many amazing days to pick just one, but hopefully it will be my next one!

I started kayaking after finishing an Ironman triathlon where I realized 6 miles into the marathon that I forgot my socks.   The next day we wondered into CKS to inquire about camping around BV and realized that I wouldn’t need to use my torn up feet kayaking.  Ever since I have been completely hooked and every year I try to boat new rivers and see new places.  The beauty with kayaking is that it can be just as amazing to try a different line on a run you have done many times in your own back yard as going around the world to a new remote location.
