Start of 2010 Season

Well spring is here. Which means time to get the boat out again. The winter was long with surgery but the shoulder is feeling good. I will be back paddling the good stuff shortly. But for now, I am stuck at the pump house.

It was Laine's first time at the pumphouse in her new boat. So we just cruised down and had some fun. Thank you to Meagan for taking the photos!

Rain playing in the Snow

Go go go!! RainInTheSnow

Rain and I headed to the park today. It was a good time with lots of running around and jumping in the snow. I can't wait until spring but I guess we have to enjoy the winter well it is here! Rain is now over a year old! Crazy to believe. I got her on December 27th 2008! Back then she was just big enough to fit in my hand. Now shes 35 pounds!

Life After Surgery

Hello!

I figure I would throw up a post of life after shoulder surgery. It has certainly cut into my boating time along with the new job. The surgery was about 3 weeks ago now. My shoulder has healed up nicely and I can not wait to get back into my boat. Although I have a long winter of physio and strength building in front of me I am still looking forward to planing my next adventure. Any ideas anyone?

So with my time back here in Ottawa I have been using it working my new job at MEC and taking photos of some of my friends paddling. Here are some shots from Hogs Back Falls and Odyssey wave on the Ottawa.

Thank you Seals Skirts/Season Ender!

From TurkeyPaloozaGullRiver

Hey Everyone!

Just wanted to give a quick shout out to Seals Skirts, my newest sponsor. My new skirt arrived in the mail shortly after I arrived back in Ontario so I took it out for a test drive on the Gull. It is great! Easy to get on, super dry and fits great. It is one sweet deck! Check out the Seals site here! I would also like to thank all my sponsors for helping me out! It was by far one of my best seasons and I wont ever forget it for sure!

In other news, my season is officially due to...guess what???? Yeah...you got it...shoulder dislocation! It happened Sunday at the Gull River in Earls Hole! Thank you to Dennis for driving me to the hospital! And I guess I never thanked Grahame for picking me up at the hospital this spring...so thanks Grahame!

My surgery is coming up very shortly now. Hopefully it goes well and I will be back on the water shortly!
