What a beautiful piece of writing! I followed my friend’s Julia Bruk’s ‘Like’ from FB and happened on your blog. Since I am too a kayaker, I can only hope someone of your talent writes a piece for me when my inevitable end comes. 🙂 No death wish here, but I would hope it would be on the water, while having matters settled with loved ones…
Gorgeous tribute to a legendary explorer. I only learned of Hendrik through my reading of an Outside magazine piece entitled, ‘Consumed.” While that title never sat well with me, I felt that the author made up for it by centering the story around the romance between him and you. After Hendrik was dragged beneath the water fighting for his life I was left wondering what he would miss the most, his back country adventures or you? From what little I know, my answer is you.

I’m just pissed I never met him. Although from what I have read, watched, he has changed the way I look at my life…. life in general.
