Wednesday, November 18th, 2009What a strange year we have had with the weather. I mean it is the middle of November and we are hovering in the 60’s during the day and of course all of this rain. The river was up and down all summer and many weekend plans for kayaking were canceled. It seemed sometimes that it would never stop raining. But overall it was a great season for kayaking.
I just want to thank everyone that chose to use AquaScapes for rental this year on the Blue River and Patoka Lake. It was a wonderful year and we met a lot of great people. We hope that next year we continue to grow as you come back and bring more friends. Thank you for a great season.
Ramblings
Tuesday, July 14th, 2009My business is aimed at those who view a kayak as access to the rest of the world; access to adventure and exploration. My greatest customers are like children who see my boats and imagine where they can go. That is the essence of AquaScapes, we provide you with a vessel that puts you in touch with that childlike sense of the vastness of the world, a vessel that allows you to touch that childlike wonder in the midst of a world that continually grows smaller and smaller.
Think about what you may experience in 14 miles on this small river in Southern Indiana. Look at it through the eyes of your children and imagine an otter popping its head out of the blue water while it fishes or plays. What an experience and this is such a tiny portion of the water of the world that can be explored with a boat and paddle.
Although a river is forever changing, forever reshaping itself, sometimes it reshapes us. Hand a paddle to a 12-year-old city girl and you give her a chance to build her own destiny for a little while. What an impact this can have on her self-esteem and her sense of the world around her. It can be life changing.
I am just an outfitter but sometimes at the end of the day I feel like a doorman standing before a door that doesn’t open into just another room, but opens to a whole new world. Those are the moments I cherish.
Kayaking with Manatees
Thursday, September 18th, 2008Not only am I your humble kayak rental and trip planner, I moonlight as a writer. My most recent submission has been published in Wavelength Magazine, a national magazine that typically includes articles on kayaking our West Coast and Canada. Wavelength has an annual warm water issue each fall and this fall’s issue includes an article about the Great Calusa Blueway around Ft. Myers/Sanibel area of Florida and my article is a close encounter around that same area.
Baby checking me out.
Currently the issue is available in its entirety online at www.Wavelengthmagazine.com and soon individual articles will be available. When this is available I will update the link to my article.
This website is a great website for all kinds of kayaking information. Every edition is available for FREE as a .pdf download. Check it out.
