After visiting with Sea Kayaker Magazine last month, Mark and I headed north to B.C., Canada. Once there, we ferry hopped our way to Saturna Island to visit a friend for a couple of days. It was wonderful to catch up with him, and the three of us enjoyed a relaxing paddle around Tumbo Island.

After two days of rest and relaxation, we made our way to Vancouver Island to run two days of rolling clinics for the South Island Sea Kayaking Association in Victoria. This was our second year instructing there, and it was great to see everyone. Special thanks to Michael Jackson for hosting us and organizing the clinics!
