Brought to you by the HoustonChronicle.com January 18, 2008 Sea of Cortés, Mexico — "Dolphins at 2 o'clock," said Melissa, a fellow paddler, and we all glanced over to watch four gray dolphins come splashing by, arcing out of the water, flipping, and slapping their tails playfully on the ocean's surface. A flock of pelicans soon followed, flying single file just inches above the water, riding the air currents on their way stage right.
Kayaking With Killer Whales, The Spokesman-Review May 2007
May, 2007by Andrew Bill - Special to The Spokesman Review May 2007 “It’s interesting to note that killers have a short, thick snout, similar to that of the Tyrannosaurus Rex,” explained Terry Prichard, with all the matter of factness one might expect from an ex-geologist. “Then there are the teeth. Fifty-two of them. Exactly the same number as the Dakosaurus Andiniensis, a giant sea crocodile with the head of a dinosaur, so savage, so ferocious, it dominated the seas 135 million years ago.”

A Kayaking Adventure, The Associated Press November 2005
November, 2005By Justin Pope - The Associated Press CNN, November15th, 2005 Grey Whales Baja ISLA CARMEN, Mexico (AP) -- Across the channel, the setting sun turned the sharp, desert mountains of the Baja Peninsula a dusty red as they plunged into the placid blue and turquoise waters of the Gulf of California. Darkness brought a brilliant, starry sky and perfect quiet, unmarred by artificial light and sound. This was why I had traveled so far from my home in Boston. This was truly "getting away." But not quite "leaving it all behind." I sipped my cocktail and devoured the succulent fish and tomato-and-avocado salad our kayaking guides had prepared. Few are the scenes in nature unenhanced, I thought, by a few carefully selected trappings of civilization.
Parents and Teens Pull Together, Seattle Times August 2004
August, 2004By Linda Hagen Miller - Special to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer August 19, 2004 Sea Kayak Adventures We've paddled our kayaks to Little Kaikash Beach on Vancouver Island and are sitting on the rocks eating lunch when one of the guides shouts: "Whales!" A group of orcas appears in the distance, then another and another, rolling, splashing, black and white, the big dorsal fin of the males knifing the waters of Johnstone Strait. We jump into our kayaks and paddle out, bunching together as our guides have instructed. The whales are surfacing and blowing across the strait, gliding between fishing boats, when one group veers toward our cove. They're really coming this way ... they're within 100 yards ... they're so close we can hear them blow.

June, 2004By Marie Savage - Special to Wild Isle Magazine Summer 2004 I was just back from a week-long white-water rafting/camping trip on the Snake River in Idaho when a friend called in a panic. Her husband was sick and she wanted to know if I would take her place three days later on a week-long sea kayaking trip off the northeast coast of Vancouver Island. I hesitated, thinking of my sand-laden sleeping bag and dirty clothes not to mention my sore muscles.

Kayaking Inside God's Pocket, San Luis Obispo Tribune August 2003
August, 2003By Rob Mohle - Special to the San Luis Obispo Tribune August 8, 2003 "Look," I said, pointing to the sky, "I see blue." "That's not blue," laughed Mary-Anne our guide, "That's a sucker hole." After four days of rain we were all ready for some sunshine. But in the Queen Charlotte Straits off the west coast of Canada, sunshine can sometimes be a rare commodity.
