The Trip Begins


June 5th, 2007

It's finally here, our trip begins today! We planned and schemed, worried and wondered, and thought this trip through in every way we could imagine. Now we're ready to depart on our journey... The Inside Passage. It's scary really, to commit ourselves to a trip of this proportion. It's so big. That's what makes it so cool and so terrifying all at the same time. (Mike)

Whose idea was this anyway? To paddle the Inside Passage and spend 3 months living the simple life with only our possessions which fit into our kayaks. It's been crazy getting prepared for this trip in both fun and challenging ways. But tomorrow we're headed out from Slip M77 at Elliot Bay Marina. Our first camp spot is Meadowdale. Here we go...
