Busy Kayaking Season

It’s been a busy spring and summer of kayak instruction; both whitewater and sea kayaking. And the busiest part of the season is still to come. I haven’t posted lately so I’ll play catch-up now about some of the events to date… SCOUT LEADER KAYAK TRAINING, June 5-8 I’ll start […]

Ducks and More Ducks

We witnessed another amazing duck migration this spring. I shot this with a drone just offshore from our home on Green Bay two weeks ago. Most of them appeared to be either Greater Scaups or Lesser Scaups. (If you can tell the difference from this angle, please let me know.) […]
