An article with three images featuring Rob Wilson, Ine Skjorten and me, published in the May issue of U.S Canoe and Kayak Magazine. Rob and Ine are the founders of Planet River. A company that produces guide books to the world's rivers through exploration from source to sea.
The three of us will gear up for the next Planet River documentation, the SJOA and DRIVA expedition which will take place in Norway this July.
My good friend the Sun has started showing itself here in the Northern Pennsylvania, I was starting to get worried if I would ever see it again. The long, dark, cold wintry days are headed down south and the spring brings with it warmer days, birds, snowdrops, the return of the Canadian geese and of course my favorite, SNOW MELT. This being my first ever northern hemisphere spring paddling season I have noticed a few things are different, mostly the ice cold water temperature!
I met up with the local paddling community here in Northern Pennsylvania, a club called BCCKC 
headed up by a very cool guy called Phil. I joined them at the end of Feb for their winter party to introduce myself and get connected.
In the past my stomping grounds have been mostly the Orange River in northwest South Africa.
Known for its heat. An average day there is anything between 30-40 degrees Celsius (86-104 Fahrenheit). You really want to be in the water most days wearing sunscreen and UV protective clothing.Even being on water at 6,30am for sunrise is enjoyable due to heat.
You can see the sun protection on Roach's face.
Along with the rash guard o Matt to keep the sun off!
