This summer was supposed to be my busiest guiding season yet—full of back-to-back expeditions and travel. Instead, it’s been interrupted by mysterious pain, swelling joints, and a medical system that can’t keep up with my schedule. Between cancelled trips, tentative diagnoses, and fleeting moments of relief, I’m learning patience, leaning on my community, and trying to find joy even in uncertainty.

Guest post from our friend Kylee Jones about our week at White Sulfur Hot Springs.

The winds picked-up, then the rain poured, then the swell built… So we sat-tight.

Hubbard Glacier is the largest tidewater glacier in North America, and the North most point of our trip!

A special feature on our good friend Ken! We’ve been bumping into him for the past 90 days as we all paddled North from Victoria.

11 days and 194NM of paddling from Juneau to Gustavus though Glacier National Park.

We said bye to Jordan and hello to Ken. We stopped at two hot springs, did an overnight potage and celebrated the 4th of July.
