Jen Kleck: Golden Gate Sea Kayak Symposium
http://jenkleck.blogspot.com/2009/05/golden-gate-sea-kayak-symposium.html
Wednesday, May 20, 2009. Golden Gate Sea Kayak Symposium. This is going back a while, but it's worth mentioning the fantastic weekend we spent in San Francisco in January. Sean Morley, Matt Palmariello. We had beautiful sunny skies, moderate swell, and enough tidal current to make things interesting, but none of the wind and horrible weather that SF can dish out. You can see for yourself in the photos what a spectacular weekend we had in one of the most beautiful cities in the world! Street cars, the cro...

Jen Kleck: May 2009
http://jenkleck.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 20, 2009. UK spring, 2009. I made my usual spring trip to the UK, primarily to hang out at Nigel Dennis' sea kayak symposium on Anglesey. It was a great event as always and I got to do some fun paddling, coach a lot, and catch up with friends from all over! I rarely take photos at these events - it's usually blowing too hard to take your hand off the paddle - and I alway regret it! I did take photos during a memorable day canoeing with Phil Hadley. Except for the Serpent's Tail! It was a p...

Jen Kleck: May 2008
http://jenkleck.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 15, 2008. On Sunday, May 11, Nigel, Kristine, Giorgio, and I paddled the Vogalonga – definitely a “life-time” experience that I will never forget! We kayaked almost 20 miles among an incredible assortment of human-powered craft through one on the most beautiful cities in the world and I would highly recommend it! A huge canyon fired and we were off! By the time we returned to the Grand Canal, it was past 2:30 and the power boats had returned. Every block or two is a “bus” st...I’ve go...

Jen Kleck: November 2008
http://jenkleck.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 29, 2008. This is our bus - the kids and instructors live out of this and a gear trailer for 10 weeks! It's got a library of books in the back and is comfortable enough. It brought back lots of fond memories from my college days as a geology student on field trips around the desert southwest. What an amazing classroom! A resident of the intertidal zone.a brittle star. Other residents of the intertidal zone turned out to be tasty! One of our camps. Food was a big part of the trip. T...

Sunday, November 23, 2008. My trip to the UK ended almost exactly as it began – hiding from crazy winds in the Menai Straits in the rain and cold! I returned home to spectacular hot weather. Everyone says this has been one of the best falls here in San Diego – warm,sunny, and very clear water with active marine life. Justine and Barry stayed long enough to enjoy some southern CA surf, but had to hurry on to their other stops. You mentioned me in your blog! December 3, 2008 at 11:22 AM. I own Aqua Adventu...

Jen Kleck: October 2008
http://jenkleck.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 28, 2008. Recent travels - update from the UK. He covers the entire coast from Canada to Florida and the videography is superb. The DVD will release this spring. Everyone was jealous that I already had copies of “This Is The Sea 4”, but we got to see the premier cut there too! There was a big pop as the bow of one Explorer went through the stern of another. It’s not a proper symposium until a boat gets broken (sorry Ronnie and Marsha)! This year Mark Tozer, an L5 coach from Wales, hosted...

Jen Kleck: August 2008
http://jenkleck.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 27, 2008. Kate's behind the camera. Phil Hadley, John Walpole, Jen Kleck, and Paul Kuthe at the put-in. I should have been responsible. I should have started my long trip home on Sunday night, or Monday morning at the latest. Instead, I went paddling on the Clackamas River with John Walpole, Paul, Kate, and Phil. Phil's world is a happy place. Phil showing us a nice line down this one. It was a treat to paddle a new river in the excellent company of some very fine boaters - thanks guys!

Jen Kleck: Tar Barrels of Ottery
http://jenkleck.blogspot.com/2008/11/tar-barrels-of-ottery.html
Sunday, November 23, 2008. Tar Barrels of Ottery. Or otherwise hurting either themselves or the barrel roller. We watched people literally get run over by the barrel dude and got way closer to the action than I needed to! There is also a giant bonfire, some amusement rides, and lots of food stands - a proper festival for the whole family! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Photography by Michael Franklin.

Jen Kleck: May 2007
http://jenkleck.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 9, 2007. We've been busy paddling on Anglesey, hanging out with good friends, and far from wireless internet connections, so we apologise for falling off the map a bit! Timing belt busted through it's housing. So, we walked to a payphone and called the British version of AAA who came to collect us. Nope, can't fix it today - could be pretty easy, or could be a big problem - could be expensive. UGH! We're just so glad that it happened on our way home and as close as we were! Off To the Races.
