California Canoe and Kayak in Rancho Cordova, CA hosted the annual Lake Natoma Paddlefest last weekend. Northern California had been experiencing some unusually cool and cloudy weather recently but the sun came out for the Paddlefest which ensured a good turnout of both new and existing paddlers.
It was the perfect occasion for my wife Gina to give our daughter her first kayaking lesson.
At the Kanumesse in Nürnberg I was happy to meet Sammy and Pez from P&H .
I was even happier leaving the exibition with 2 new boats on the roof of my car.

OK-this isn’t really a sea kayaking post at all, but spring is here and that means that the water is running INTO Lake Superior from spring snowmelt. We get a few good weeks of whitewater boating on steep obscure northern rivers each spring. A tight schedule made last weekend my only shot at the spring water. After working the Midwest Mountaineering Spring Adventure Expo, I jumped into the car and headed for the UP.
