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.) […]

Red River Dunks
My first paddle day in the Midwest this season after kayaking in the Southeast US earlier this year. Apparently I’m still shaking off some winter rust. And yes that should be “CFS” for Cubic Feet per Second, not “CFI”. I shot the drone footage right before we launched our kayaks.
Flying Across Ice
Chasing my neighbor across the ice of Green Bay with a DJI Avata drone for the FPV footage and a DJI Mini 2 drone for the cinematic aerials.
New Canoes and Other Temptations
A few days ago I rode along with friend Dan (@ongreenbay) to pick up his new canoe, a beautiful H20 Canoe Company Prospector. He ordered it from Umingmaq Paddle Touring Center, located a few miles west of Westfield, in Central Wisconsin. I had heard about Umingmaq but I hadn’t been […]
Winter Beauty (or “Winter Drones On”)
A few cold-weather drone videos show the beauty of winter in Wisconsin. Shot with a DJI Avata and a DJI Mini 2 and edited with Cyberlink Power Director 360. Still learning and having fun. Ski Trails near Lakewood Bay of Green Bay Wequiock Falls near Green Bay

Chilly Peshtigo River Kayaking
It was a chilly day but the river level was as high it’s been since last spring so we had to go.
Clean-up and Fun on the Wolf River
On a chilly 35°F day we spent about 4-1/2 hours on the river picking up bottles, cans, flipflops, and other trash on Section 4 of the Wolf in the Menominee Reservation in Northern Wisconsin. Here’s footage of the named rapids. In hindsight I should have shot more of the trash-gathering […]
How I Manage Diabetes While Kayaking
I’ve been an insulin-dependent diabetic since 1995. During that time, I’ve gone from using syringes and vials to insulin pens, which was a big step up in convenience. But by far my best upgrade in diabetes care has been going on the Dexcom continuous glucose monitoring system. My passion for […]
A Rainy Wolfman Triathlon 2022
I don’t make it to the Wolfman Triathlon every year so I enjoyed my sixth or seventh return to the annual event this past Saturday. This unique off-road triathlon features a three-mile down-river paddle on a class II section of the Wolf River, a 13-mile mountain bike ride on a […]
