3 days from now, the car will be packed and Norm, myself and Explore Magazine will be making the trip up to Northern BC to Prince Rupert to catch the ferry out to Hartley Bay, a remote Native Community on BC's west coast. We will then be embarking on the 1st ever exploratory expedition via Stand Up Paddlboard (SUP) for 5 days. Norm has been guiding in this year for many years and has a very well established relationship with the community of Hartley Bay. We have permission to travel and experience their native lands and traditional hunting/fishing grounds. The pictures that I have seen of the Great Bear are unbelievable. This magical place has ranked at the top of my list for places to visit for a long time now and I am so EXCITED and FORTUNATE to be apart of this lifetime journey.
We will be documenting, blogging and twittering as we go. The SUP's will be loaded up with gear as we tackle some big days on the water. It is going to be an amazing trip. And some BIG NEWS - Norm and I will be offering some guided SUP expedition trips to this area next August/September. This signals the return of the salmon to the Great Bear Rainforest. This is an incredible time to search for the Kermode Bear (aka - the Spirit Bear.) Let me know if you would like to be kept in the loop for these trips as space is already filling and numbers are very limited.
More to come. Follow this SUP expedition along on Twitter "JenSegger"
Adventure Onwards......
