purpose of ourowntwohands

We are paddlers from the Pacific Northwest who completed a kayak expedition around the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska to raise money and awareness for the Cook InletKeeper, a non-profit organization working to protect waters quality the Kenai. Over 50% of the world's salmon are harvested from these waters.

The Kenai Peninsula is one of the most diverse ecosystems on our planet - home to brown and black bears, moose, caribou, migratory birds, wolves, humpback, beluga and killer whales, sea otters, sea lions, and all five species of wild pacific salmon.

Our 500 mile long journey began May 24 in Turnagain Arm in the Cook Inlet and concluded in Whittier on June 22, 2008. By donating to this cause, you will help support the Cook Inlet Keeper.

So far we have raised $1,500 all from your contributions! Thanks so much!!

t minus 1 week

wow. nervous. dreams of bears. excited for countless days on the sea.
swell. wow. cooking. camping. unknown.
unknown weather. unknown beaches.
endless directions this trip will take on a daily basis.

lists are not growing, no time. lists are dwindling, 'bout time.
will be on a plane in 1 week where lists are no more lists. :)

the energy around this cause is so accelerating.
everyone I talk to is excited, some at work are in awe.
they come forward with their network of contacts
even if nothing comes from their resources
it's great that more awareness is out there

comments on the site, comments in my mail.
we are fortunate, lucky, active, honored.

pride. scared. living life.
no worries necessary.
