We received our first donations!! very generous ones. It's so great to be actively working for a cause. Lots of people are able to, but it's a first for me in a serious manner. It's exciting. Thank you.
On Friday we fly to Anchorage, and about a week out from being on the water. We all talked after a few tries this weekend. The general consensus is we're ready to go, and ready to leave the rest of the organizing. ;) But really, we feel really good where we are at. And with a little free time, it's given way to some nervous anxiousness.
In a week we'll put putting in the water near Portage, AK.

The weather report is still looking cold. There's been consistent gale force winds the last 2 weeks. Sun is surely coming, preceded by some 49/40 Olympic coast rainy weather. I think it's safe to expect a cold first week.
I looked closer at the early charts this weekend, and it's not unrealistic to be in Homer with 6-8 days, if we wanted. So if it rains, we can make more miles with more time on the water.
Good advice from Dan - bring more rope and biners than you think. I'm trying to find my old climbing gear bag now. :)
Thanks again for all the gives - financial, support from friends, partners, parents, community - it makes it so much more doable.

I began paddling in the waters of Cook Inlet, working as a guide in Kachemak Bay. Since then, my husband Matt and I have moved to Orcas Island Washington and work with Body Boat Blade. We are passionate about paddling in dynamic waters and living adventurous lives. The Kenai is so diverse and wild, it’s a place I love to know exists on this planet.
