Lowry to Carraholly
Saturday, November 13, 12021 HE We were in North Vancouver visiting my in-laws today. So, I was able to take advantage of being on the north shore and get on the Səl̓ilw̓ət (Burrard Inlet and Indian Arm) waters. It has been some time since I have paddled there.

Monday October 18, 12021 HE My YouTube feed prompted me with this “rapid crossbow turn” by Yehor Tarasko. Ever since seeing it, I have wanted to get out on the water and give it a try. Today was the day to make that happen. And at the same time, it would give me a chance to challenge myselfContinueContinue reading “What’S up Fool”
Share the Stoke
Sunday October 3, 12021 HE Several of my colleagues have paddleboards, so we decided to do an “F-T-T” (Fit To Train) paddle session. Fit To Paddle. I have two paddleboards, as does Aieisha.
