Vancouver Is. Expedition - update 3

Sunny greetings from Orcas Isle in the American San Juans!
We've had absolutely fantastic weather here, and the team have been busy with different projects in the local community. These have ranged from a beach clean, to garden maintainence and building compost heaps and sandboxes at a childrens nursery, (as well as getting time to play themselves...)!



Many, many thanks to Djuna and Matt from Body Boat Blade, who set up the residential, and hosted us magnificently during our stay on Orcas.


Here's a couple of words describing the expedition as a whole, from the crew;

Nash
Awesome, eye - opening, awe - inspiring, adventurous, challenging, fun, interesting.
An eye opening experience and a once in a lifetime adventure.

Gez
Amazing, awe - inspiring, exciting, fulfilling, phonomenal, tiring, demanding, memorable, once in a lifetime experience, maritime madness!

Sam
Exciting, challenging, tiring, character building, blistering, scenic, dissappointing in not reaching goals when fishing, kayaking and mountain walking, a learning process, but all together ... not too bad at all and is the way forward!

Graihagh
Exciting, tiring, adventurous, fun, hungry, challenging, new, endurance, physically and mentally demanding. A once in a lifetime experience!
