Hey, here’s a new website worth checking out. Reel Water Productions is of course the home of Bryan Smith creator of the Pacific Horizons DVD, 49 Megawatts and more. Bryan and I have been working on this site for a bit of time now and we’re both happy to finally make it available to everyone. Once I got the template down, Bryan took over. . . and I have to admit I was amazed by the amount on content. You’ll find video clips, bios, past production history, a large gallery of pictures and no less than 3 blogs! Yeah, well 2 of them have been around for awhile but now they are all living in the same home. So check it out at www.ReelWaterProductions.com. Congrats Bryan on the new site!

I got the new Canoe & Kayak Travel Issue today. I’ve only flipped through, but look who I found! It’s Freya! Sorry the guys at C&K would come here and kick my tail if I read it all to you. I did understand the bit there about being an attractive female, but . . someone has to describe "chossy" swells for me. . . ok, I’m going to go read that bit about Justin & James. Oh wait? 9 things I don’t know about the Outer Banks. . . Only 9?? Amazing what you don’t know you know. You know? Well, I’ve got some reading to do. . .

Greg contemplates dry socks after an icy swim. . .
My friend Greg Stamer has been working diligently on a new website & blog in preparation for his upcoming trip to “The Rock”. Now you may notice that “website” is really tied into expeditions these days and of course there are a few reasons for this. The most important of which is simply that we’ve all found that blogging is the perfect way to share our trips. It’s pretty easy these days to upload pictures and post the story almost “live”. Which is pretty cool. The blog of course is just the latest line in a long history of storytelling. Over centuries the campfire has given way to LED.

Ok, so here’s the thing. . . I make the argument all the time that Reed gear makes paddlers look good, then of course Hadas Feldman comes along to prove that she makes Reed look good. She always has to be so contradictory! By the way the spring issue of Adventure Kayak is worth a look. The “Women at Sea” section is almost a perfect offset to those quotes by the “father of modern sea kayaking”. . . almost. . . He is such a rascal isn’t he?

Everybody’s got something to hide

My full name is Joseph Cameron Jackson, but at Paddler Magazine they call me Joe the Intern. This blog is part of an experiment we are conducting at Paddler in which we have our readership, paddlers, give me assignments. Derrick’s assignment was to give him a break from blogging.

As I mentioned yesterday adventure writer, sea kayaker & coach, (jack of all sea kayaking trades. . . ) Jeff Allen of Cornwall, UK is off to Scandinavia. He will be joined by Mark Schoon of Maine. Jeff of course has had some amazing trips already in his back pocket including circumnavigating the 4 main isles of Japan with Hadas Feldman of Israel, and as a member of the 2005 British team that circumnavigated South Georgia Island in record time. Jeff is also a prolific writer who has recently been contributing articles on such things as; survival for sea kayaking, rough water paddling & incident management for Ocean Paddler Magazine in the UK.

Rhythm don’t mean nothing
You go with the flow
I’m really pleased to get to share with you a chat with Megan Pfieffer. I realized that although you may have heard me mention the "Queen of Canoecopia" on KQuix occasionally, you may not know who she is. She’s a bit of a ninja in her own right, and manages to be everywhere and yet often unseen. So maybe I should call this post “Megan Pfeiffer Exposed”. . .
