70 Days on the Ocean
all of the sea kayaking British Columbia Blog Posts, in one spot
This summer, we spent 70 days living out of sea kayaks. We woke up early, made all of our food on an MSR Whisperlite, packed months of food and gear into boats, and then hit the water, pretty much every single day.
Along the way, we saw ocras and humpbacks, seals and starfish, cliffside waterfalls and islands covered in wildflowers. It was one of the most difficult, beautiful, memorable, things I have ever done.
Along the way, I wrote 21 blog posts. Here they are in order:
