Thanks very much to Bill Thompson from Downwind Sports to invite me to teach and speak at the Great Lakes Sea Kayaking Sympsoium! It was a pleasure to be at Grand Marais/ Lake Superior. It is a great place for beginners and intermediate kayakers to meet and to learn form each other!
There are hundreds of images uploaded on the symposium’s facebook website - just please have a look and browse through the great pics!
Thanks to Ryan Rushton from Geneva Kayak Center for organizing and hosting my talk, and thanks to Paul and his lovely wife Kim for hosting me for the night!

The talk in Rhode Island, organized and hosted by Jeff Shapiro from the Kayak Centre, was one of the very much perfect organized and prepared ones with a good turnout in a lovely (airconditioned!) venue. Thanks very much to Jeff and his nice crew!
Some of the many nice and qualified staff members: Kate, Jake, myself, Brooke, Emily – thanks to all!
Biff Wruszek, Margaret Mann and myself went for another paddle on Monday to the Statue of Liberty. It was another HOT day with quite some traffic on the water!
I guess I have enough now from BIG CITY river paddling in tropical heat! I need the fresh salty smell of the open sea! It was nice and interesting anyway. Thanks to Biff and Margaret being my “city tour guides”!
Very impressive 40 min 4th of July firework (view on You Tube!) from six simultaneous firing barges on the Hudson River over Manhattan – the biggest one I’ve ever seen!
