Hi Greg, congratulations… After 1 1/2 month on their fishing grounds, what about the people, especially those living in remote outposts? They have a reputation for being a very welcoming bunch…
Well done on the Newfoundland expedition, you probably have lots of material for writing a book. And I would read it “in a van down by the river.” LOL.
Awesome Greg! I hope you can put together another slide show as good as the Iceland one once your paddle cools down! You could call the presentation ‘Blazing Paddles’! I’ll try and get a front row seat at Delmarva this year. Congrats!
Congratultions. In addition to the obvious trip reports, I’ll bet you have some pretty thorough gear reviews:-)
