Well…Goodbye 2025
We’ve been, like many, dealing with a bit of adversity throughout 2025 and we are striving for more resilience through 2026!
In preparation for the spring, summer and fall, we are skate-skiing as conditions allow, and skiing of all varieties!
The goal this year will be to persevere in choppy waters and nippy cross-currents, and to have fun doing it!
What’s new?
We have new Tiderace kayaks!!
It wasn’t easy, Tariffs, delay, complications, but we got em!
We had a great teaching season, including Cheri’s trip to Spain for the Spanish Symposium, and she did some filming for Online Sea Kayaking.
Cheri and I drove cross country, so I could spend some time with my family, and Cheri did a long paddling trip with her friend Jackie (Next blog post.)
And finally, our internet hosting service devolved into chaos that necessitated a painful transition from our old host to a new one! Causing us to lose a fair amount of email. So if you emailed us and we didn’t get back to you, please email us again… sorry about that tech folks we are NOT!
I did mention new Tiderace Kayaks, yes?
