Around the Great Lakes Paddled for the first time today, since I pulled off of the trip. I could definitely feel that I'm not at 100%, but it felt good to paddle. Lake Superior is cold at about 40F due to a major upwelling of deep cold water in the last few days.
Around the Great Lakes It's been just under a month since I pulled off the water & have been working on healing my medial epicondylitis with physical therapy, rest, etc… For the most part, the strong debilitating pain is gone. I ended up only paddling 370 miles this spring be
I planned this trip to take advantage of small towns with post offices and grocery stores within blocks of the shore or harbor and each town is located about 10 days of travel away from each other. The grocery stores allow the basic menu to be varied and supplemented as desired...
Around the Great Lakes Still trying to fight the tendinitis. I was hoping to get back on the water this weekend, but the left arm isn't ready yet. It's a little strange after living this expedition over and over in my head while planning to have my body decide that it wasn't go
I begin this post by saying thank to everyone for all their support throughout this journey. The trip has been a year in the making filled with excitement and planning. Bryan has worked hard to make it all happen. As we all know, sometimes things are out of our hands...

Day 10: I covered 24 miles from Bayfield to Saxon Harbor today and found wi-fi at Saxon Harbor. Over the weekend, Ilena came to visit in Bayfield. We drove to Ashland and stayed a night in a hotel, did chores, and resupplied with gear. It was hard to see her leave in my car on Sunday afternoon...

Around the Great Lakes Bryan is hanging out in Bayfield, WI for the night. Ilena and Bryan had a great evening last night visiting with each other and catching up. He is doing well other then some nasty blisters and chapped hands. Drop him a note if you get the chance. The weat
I’m huddled under my sleeping bag in the Apostle Island waiting as the temperatures drop below 30F with an accompanying storm front that the NOAA Near Shore Marine Forecast tells me is going to bring snow and 2 to 4 foot waves. ...
Around the Great Lakes Bryan has made it to Duluth. Weather has gotten warmer as he heads away from the US side of the north shore. Things are going well other then a few blisters. He is enjoying the sights and people along the way.
Around the Great Lakes Rain showers and storms are falling tonight while Bryan is at Gooseberry Falls. We hope the rain will move through and bring warm sun tomorrow. Things are going well and time was spent taking photos and learning about CCC.
