All things related to my kayaking experiences and interests, and everything else life throws at me.
About SandyBottom
A senior with 2 kids grown and flown, married to Paul 30 years, a recently retired medical researcher, and was a sometime adventurer. Now, its ALL about the adventure. I was born and raised in Hawaii, and have a love of the outdoors, camping, the beach, and the ocean. I started paddling with white water in 1981 when I met my husband. My first real sea kayaking experience was actually on a sit-on-top in Kailua Bay on the Island of Oahu in 1987 while we were visiting family. Two children and years later, a chance opportunity to try sea kayaking again in 1996 resulted in a love and passion that provides me with fun, excitement, relaxation and/or exercise, and most of all, adventure. I’ve not stopped since.

Sandybottom,
I saw the discussion of your NC watertribe event on the discussion forum. Sounds great! I posted a note about it on my blog, but wanted you to know that I "borrowed" a photo of you and Kiwibird off your blog. I hope that is ok. If not, please let me know and I'll remove it. Ok?
good luck
Steve
