Two fun and exciting events...the Elk River Challenge on Saturday and Sunday's Canoe Journey. The ERC should be a fun race, open to all paddlers and rowers. I'm just looking forward to paddling in the estuaries of Grays Harbor and breathing some ocean air. The start/ finish is from Brady's Oysters. There is a $10 entry fee and that includes free seafood from Brady's, which isn't a bad deal.
Energy is really building for the Canoe Journey. I'm finally hearing more of a buzz about it. I now see signs posted around town. Bleachers and seating are being furiously constructed at Swantown Marina. People are excited.
I think it's important to remember how important this journey is for so many people. I personally hope to be less of a spectator and more a witness to such an incredible cultural event. I love to paddle on the Salish Sea and want to be as respectful as I can, to both it and its paddlers, some of whom have made an incredible journey to get here, and not just in the physical sense.
