Ohhhh . . . yesterday I paddled what I'm pretty sure is my new boat. Made by Melker of Sweden, committed to sustainability in manufacture (it ain't easy), this baby is laid up with cork; the deck is made of flax. Yes, cork and flax. And resin that's at least partly plant-based. And it paddles like a dream.

Photograph of a kayak on a dock. The kayak is light brown in color, made of cork and flax. There are three hatches, two in front of the cockpit and one aft, and the areas surrounding the hatches are bright white. The cockpit is shaped like a guitar pick. A white-bladed paddle rests on the back of the kayak.

Paddled from the Portage Lake DNR launch up the Portage River, aka Portage Creek aka Hell Creek, in a totally inappropriate sea kayak. Had to portage a beaver dam but turned back at a property-owner's bridge upstream from Toma Rd rather than trespass on his yard. Highlights included skunk cabbage, dogwood and a water snake. This was the route from Lake Erie's Huron River watershed across #Michigan to Lake Michigan's Grand River watershed.

So the #kayaking race on Saturday was great!

It was a "fun slalom": A very easy course, all boat types permitted. If you went fast, great; but the main thing was just participating.

It was so exciting for the 12yo! She was super nervous, but raced anyway. I made sure to start just before her, so she could follow my line (not sure I was a great example...).

She made it to the finish line, and now she's SO PROUD 😁

Specifically:
1. Four-day kayaking camp together with two kids, one of them a beginner
2. Pick up my new midlife crisis bike, and ride it home for a couple hundred km
3. A two-weekend training for leading kayaking excursions, with ample practical elements

all this followed by a one-week #kayaking course in June :-)
