Why a lens on sea kayaking? Why Lake Superior?
I wanted a practical place where I could organize all my frequently used resources about a great sport, location and community! I hope you'll find this lens helpful and entertaining no matter what your kayaking experience. There is a lot of info specific to the Great Lakes Region...especially the big one they call gitchagumi. Why?.. well, it's big, beautiful, moody (snarly to serene) and simply an amazing place to paddle. Just started... stay tuned for additions/modifications and pictures!
go paddle!
