Today i will start the trip of unraveling my spirit. I know my body, haven't met my soul but live with my spirit yet don't know it's confusion. The way it is explained to me is we have a body, a spirit, and a soul. I've interpreted that to mean our body is a temporary vehicle for our soul and our spirit or spiritual life will determine where our soul will go. The unraveling is i was raised in

What is the irony here? (Hint Last WW post's explanation) How did I get in there?Answers:1.) I'm bald so I don't need a comb, but this is what i'm trimming off on this kayak - the combing.2.)

This was my seventh backwoods canoe trip. It was a 16 mile loop - where you start on a lake and portage and canoe in a big circle. The loop included about 6 miles of portaging and 10 of canoeing. The trip was taken in September of 2006 and lasted 5 days. This was the shortest of all of my trips. I traveled from SW lower Michigan around the bottom of Lake Michigan through Chicago entering

Check back tomorrow I will put the "Where, When, and the Story." I will also include a general list of what I don't bring on these trips and a humorous "why." I will also list what I brought on this trip which I will leave home next time.

As the new financial crunches take hold and the complete change of lifestyle that having children brings, we are reluctantly considering selling our kayaks. I have had offers from people to buy them but never really considered it - partially because I don’t have the audacity to ask what I think they are worth! Each boat that we have took approximately 300 hours to make. And, we adhered to

Tonight I will finish the final coat of epoxy on a sea kayak I’m building. It is a guillemot Great-Auk - the one on the right - a very nice low volume design boat with a long waterline length 16-8”. I built this one back in 2003 as I get more of it done I will be posting more photos of it.The Best Half's kayak is on the left. Eyes by Ear

Face of ?The StoryThis was the first day on our 2006 BWCA (Boundary Waters Canoe Area) camping trip. I was waiting to take a posed photo of my dad and brother-in-law who had done a little back tracking so I could capture the moment. Well as I was waiting - actually sculling in place to capture the moment I couldn't help but notice this very small wave carved in the face of this shore line cliff.
