I actually had decided going into my Level 1 Sea Kayak Instructor Course, that I wasn't going to blog about it. I had things to learn and too much to do and needed to be serious and focused on learning as much as possible. Studying while kayak camping weeks before the course No time for pictures, (HAHAHA, yeah, well, I always get a few pics!!) But I think you get the drift of [...]

Before taking the Level 2 Sea Kayaking course with Ontario Sea Kayak Centre , I would've never attempted to camp out in the middle of Georgian Bay, on crown land, without being with someone who was experienced in doing so. During my entire history of backcountry camping, I have used a method called handrailing and never knew how to use a compass. I basically brought the map for the area I was in, and used landmarks, [...]

And, I met some extraordinary [...]
