PELICAN AT HALF MOON BAY

THE SAN FRANCISCO PREMIERE

The premiere tour of “This is the Sea 4” continues to go well, with 2 countries, 3 American states and 5 showings in 9 days! I’m tired just thinking about it!

We had a fun paddle in windy conditions at Half Moon Bay yesterday followed by a showing of the film. Thanks to Andy at Golden Gate Kayaking for organising it and to everyone for showing up! Thanks also to Yoshiko and Russ for putting us up for 2 days and looking after us really well!

We’re rented a car for the next few days and are making our way down to San Diego in time for a premiere there on Thursday.

There are a few more reviews of “This is the Sea 4” appearing in various languages.

A MOODY WALK IN PORTLAND

SAN JUAN ISLANDS PADDLE

SAD TO SEE SHAWNA AND LEON GO HOME TODAY!

It’s been a busy few days, with a premiere on Orcas island and one in Seattle, both with good turn outs. Plus a great paddle and a nice walk in the San Juan islands. Thanks a lot to “Body Boat Blade” for driving us down to Seattle, and buying pizza and beer for everyone who attended, aswell as organising the San Juan islands premiere. Thanks also to Seattle Raft & Kayak company for providing the venue. Last night we stayed with Nigel and Kristen Foster and had a look around Kristen’s wonderful ceramics studio. Thanks to them for hosting us.

KRISTEN IN HER STUDIO
We were sad to leave Shawna and Leon from BBB today, but are excited to head south to Portland for a premiere there tonight at the Mission Theatre. I’m sitting in the theatre now, 15 minutes before people arrive. It’s a great venue with a huge screen, lots of seats and a bar!

STRONG FEELINGS IN ANACORTES THE DAY AFTER THE US ELECTION

LEON ON SUCIA ( SORRY IF I SPELT THAT WRONG!)

It’s amazing how quickly you can be in a different place! On Saturday morning we had breakfast in England and by the afternoon we were being picked up by Mike Callahan from the Eco-Marine kayak shop in Vancouver. By the evening we were presenting the DVD to about 100 people, trying not to think about the fact that it was about 3am for us! It was a fun evening and good to meet lots of enthusiastic people and see a few people again. Thanks for everyone who showed up, to Michael, Eco-marine and West Coast paddler for organising and presenting the event and to Lendal Paddles and Ocean Kayak for sponsoring Barry and my travel expenses to make it all possible.

Yesterday Michael drove us down to Deception Pass where we met Shawna and Leon, Dubside Tom, Anne & Steve for an afternoon paddle. Now we’re back on Orcas for a couple of days, about to go for a walk up Turtleback mountain!

Thanks to Dan from West Coast Paddler – I’m having trouble getting photos from my camera so I stole one of his from his website without permission! I hope that’s OK and that you forgive me, Dan! You can read what people thought about the premiere and DVD here
