Before taking my Level 1 Sea Kayak Instructor Course with Ontario Sea Kayak Centre, my coach Dympna had asked me to attend the Women on Water Paddling Festival. I had no idea what this festival was all about and had not heard of it until she'd mentioned it. I did a bit of research and it looked like a really cool weekend that had been created by Wild Women Expeditions and Ontario Sea Kayak Center, [...]

My very first blog post was after Canada Day weekend 2015 where I spent an amazing 4 days at Grundy Lake Provincial Park. I loved the park and had vowed to return and check out the backcountry soon! It had taken a while but this weekend I was on my way and I couldn't wait! Grundy Lake PP is only about an hour and a half drive from my new home in Port Carling. I [...]

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, [...]

When I decided to move to Port Carling and sell my home, I also decided to reward myself at some point, for how far I've come and for achieving some of the goals I have set for myself over the last year. It started out as a go pro, or something similar, then progressed to a solo canoe. I even went and tested one out! But after completing my level 2 sea kayaking course, I [...]
