Sean Morley, organizer, River and Ocean
Sean’s easy and brief introduction for me on the symposium and talk:
”If you don’t know Freya, I don’t know what you are doing here!”
Thanks, Sean!

A great quality audience of almost 300 experienced paddlers, standing ovations at the end of my talk. Many thanks for that honor!

The Golden Gate Bridge San Francisco from a hilltop

Five world wide famous backs hiding the world wide famous bridge:
Ben Lawry, Rob Avery, myself, Jeff Allen, Gordon Brown

I paddled up to Alcatraz in San Francisco Bay – the world’s famous prison island – quite some tides around!

More than hundred kayaks were launching all of the three symposium mornings from Sausalito marina, right besides the Golden Gate Bridge (picture by Jeff Allen).

Organizers Michael Duffy, Kokatat, and Helen Wilson, Explore North Coast President
Thanks for your work!

Michael was introducing the evening

Talk, talk, talk…

It was the night in White (Blue…) Satin with a matching “belt”!

I particularly enjoyed meeting quite a lot of the Kokatat employees! They had a chance to see the great gear they are working on all day “in action”! Thanks!
