Coastal Kayaker
Hi, I'm Carl Natale. I'm a Registered Maine Sea Kayak guide with two 17-foot sea kayaks, a whitewater kayak and an inconsistent roll.

A 'traditional' weekend

This weekend I have paddling plans of a different sort. Elaine and I are taking a two-day class on Greenland kayaking from Maine guide Bob Myron.

The first day involves making a Greenland paddle and learning about traditional paddling. The second day is on the water learning braces and rolls with our homemade paddles.

We know a couple who took the class last year and came out with some fantastic rolls. So we're looking forward to learning new skills.

Then I'm on vacation to an undisclosed location on an undisclosed body of water. My cell phone is already lost, and my laptop has been confiscated. I hope to spend the time practicing new skills.

Have good week. Get out. Be safe. And have fun.

I cruised by your residence last week on my commute from Leeds thinking that you might offer a thirsty traveller a cold beer. You were not home. However, I did notice that by looking at your unmowed grass that your "free time" in the summer is used up paddling and not for staying home and mowing the lawn. You trying to beat that good run I had of going 5 years without mowing my lawn?
