I am an avid coastal explorer. I love traveling Canada's Atlantic coast. Since my earliest holiday trips to our Maritime Provinces I have  collected microcrystalline beach stone; my collection has grown and grown and currently stands at several thousand pieces.

I spent my childhood and teen years camping in Kananaskis country in the Canadian Rockies, where my Dad taught me, by example, how to set up a proper camp site, fly fish, and survive in the wilderness. Since retiring I have been an in-store advisor for paddling, hiking, and camping; at Ocean River Sports-Victoria BC, MEC-Langley BC, MEC-Quebec City, LACORDEE-Quebec City and currently ...Latulippe-Quebec City.

My SeaStar Ultra-lite camping rig will get me back into camping mode this summer. My overall objective is to enjoy my time camping along Canada`s Maritime coast. In my posts I often comment on which of the products I use contributed to my enjoyment. I will just switch out those that are not; with little or no adue. As my oh-so-very-British mother used to say, "If you don't have something constructive to say ...don't say anything at all."

I have been sea paddling for over 30 years. The Saint Laurence River, the Canadian Maritime Coast, and the Pacific Ocean off Vancouver Island have been my primary paddle grounds. My Maritime Loop Expedition this summer will take me back to some old paddling grounds and add some exciting new ones.
