All about Jake



The Portage to Portage - a 5000 mile solo kayak journey around the Eastern United States.
-
What a nice send off for Jake who was starting a 5000 mile+ journey around the great loop of The east coast.
-
Humble, thankful and well supported by friends and family, Jake started his journey by selling his trip's T-shirt to help support and underwrite some of the costs. Boo got in on the action and snagged a shirt.
-
The sun shown bright which brought warmth to the occasion as some 50 or so by-standers wished him luck and wrote catch phrases on his kayak. Young children climbed in and out of the kayak to the delight of on-lookers snapping photos. Lots of positive energy in the area as a nervous mom and dad stood by.
-
The stand up paddler goes by no name but added mystery and intrigue. A wave of the hand and a dip of the paddle... and he's off.

Wow - The Capt'n
