Crazy happinings all around

Flight reservations check, hep a, b, c , oral typhoid pill, doxicycline pills, yellow fever ......check, check, check...oops forgot yellow fever ( always been a gamblin man). ..... Kayak check, gear check, friends check, northern Ugandan rebels check....lol...ehhh...for real though...ehhh.
This is the first of many blogs documenting the start of my friends and my world travels. The five year wait to finish college is over and the life goal of kayaking around the world is manifesting. Yup, I’m ready to jet for the Sept 25 flights to Uganda and Zambia for four months of paddling. Next year, around spring-ish season, the goal is the Patagonia region of Chile. For the finale....Norway, the huckers Valhalla.
I'm currently, talking with and looking for, sponsors. NOT monetary as much as gear, especially since we’ll be leaving our boats and some gear for the Ugandan locals. The hopes, to create a means of employment as safety boaters for guide companies. So if you’re interested let me know… if not, eh follow the blog anyway. I guarantee many good and some ridiculous stories. And lets face it we all like a good short story.
