Arctic Paddling Pics...

[KEENO]

With the weather turning colder, I've been dragging out more of my winter paddling gear and along with it, many of the memories of my 2008 sea kayaking trip to the northern tip of Baffin Island, Nunavut.

For those interest.... I was blessed to be part of ateam of international sea kayakers award a kayaking grant from Immersion Research (http://www.immersionresearch.com/) to paddle in the High Arctic for 6 weeks during the Summer of 2008. <hard to believe it's been over a year ago already???>

Here's the link to the blog and a few pics of our adventure: (some previously posted)

Beautiful photos. I've only kayaked in sunny weather (so far), but would love to kayak in the arctic.

Thanks for the positive comments all! I look back at that trip often, especially knowing how much life has changed in the last 16 months...

Yeap.... Russell now has a smaller Sweetwater Kayaks back up & open for business!
