No matter what holiday tradition you follow it seems that this time of year, a wave of messages to acquire more “stuff”, bombards most of us. It always makes me ponder the question of ownership. It seems to me that ultimately, one the few things that any of us really own is our relationships. Whether with our families, our family of friends or a higher power taking stock of those relationships and celebrating them is what I urge you to do through these holidays. In keeping with that ideal, I most humbly thank all of you who, despite our economy, have supported us into our 28th year! I truly hope that we have given back exceptional experiences for your support.

A life rich in experience may be the only true wealth we ever have, so I urge you to share experiences with those in your life. Take the long way home, maybe do something the hard way, take a kid fishing instead of renting a video, go for a walk, cook for friends. It may be small stuff that adds up to a huge life. We can help with that…perhaps someone you know would enjoy the gift of experience with a kayak lesson, “Expedition School”, a custom day trip with a Champagne lunch or even a winter escape to warm tropical climes. Give us a call and we’ll make that rich gift of experience possible from you. 866-882-5525

Unlike the one offered by your “Uncle Sam” during that Halloween Party, we’d like to offer our own version of economic relief. As an early booking incentive, we are offering a 10% price break (exception: Alaska) on any of our programs booked before Jan 30.

• Prince of Wales Island, Alaska
  Join us for this lifetime opportunity to tour in a part of SE Alaska that’s rarely seen padders.



• Expedition School
  Lake Superior sets the stage for this 5-day course in expedition style kayaking. Hone your campcraft, cooking and navigation skills is this ultimate DIY adventure!



• Tour de Brew
  Hmm, not that into wine? Well, northern Michigan is home to some fine craft brewers, so this kayak program spends its afternoons getting the back door tour of some of our finer brewers. Dates by arrangement for your group of 2 or more.



• Water to Wine long play version…Foodie Heaven
  Most folk’s only complaint about our Water to Wine Kayaking/wine tour was that it was too short! Not only do we feature Leelanau County wineries in this tour, but also we give you another day all from a Lake Leelanau retreat location!

• Brew Festival Festivities
  We’re joining Porterhouse Productions’ Michigan Microbrew and Music festival to offer premium gnoshes for the beerfest and some gourmet day paddles prior to the event featuring private winery and brewery tours.
  



• ACA Week
  Move over BCU week…we have warm water, waves and some fine coaching talent converging right here in N. Michigan to offer up some great skill building this September!
  



• Freya Paddles Around Oz!
  Uberfrau Freya Hoffmeister should finish her 15, 000 Km solo circumnavigation of that crazy-big island continent of Australia this week! It may be the ultimate product of stubborn determination and confidence. And for my next trick…I’d like a really, really good nap. http://qajaqunderground.com/
