Tongue Out   I lost my website's entire database .. 2/16/2012

I've been working on and off on rebuilding my site though not really putting much time into it.  Again just like before Costa Rica I ran out of time.  I leave Duluth tomorrow May 7 to head up to Grand Marais.  I think we'll be launching Wednesday from Grand Portage.  I have set up a blogger site which I can keep updated with my ipad which has been the difficulty with setting one up on my own site.

Follow my kayak trip here:  kayakingaroundlakesuperior.blogspot.com  You can subscribe to get notified every time I post something.  Not sure how often I'll have wifi on the Canadian shore but I'll have the G3 working on the southshore. 

I'll be joining Dave and Amy of Wilderness Classrroom for the Canadian Shore but continue on my own the rest of the way.  Some may remember I joined Dave and Amy on the first leg of their North American Odyssey which launched kayaking from Bellingham Washington on April 22, 2010.  Since then they've Backpacked, Canoed and Dogsledded across North American.. arriving via canoe to Grand Portage Minnesota in the fall of 2011.  Hence the next leg will launch from Grand Portage and I figure why not join them for the companionship on the Canadian Shore..even though I suppose logistically starting and ending from my house in Duluth would be simpler.  This is about my paddling around Lake Superior but I have linked to what Dave and Amy are up to.  They have already paddled around Lake Superior in 2006.  Me... I'd been trapped with my kayak business and this went on believe it or not for 18 years !!   Figure I may as well do this finally.   Next winter I hope to find a single or short handed sailboat owner and sail to learn and enjoy.  That's my plan soon but feel I should gain more experience before selling my house and buying a sailboat.  Anyone knowing of ways to make this connection let me know.. I've heard there are websites.

I live on renting the main level of the house I bought in Duluth and while the actual income is quite low.. I love that I can do things like.. paddle around Lake Superior.
