About me:
: I love the outdoors and my
preferred way to see it all is
in a kayak or on backcountry
skis. I try to
stay in good
physical shape, e.g.,
exercises, lots of work on
my woodlot, etc.
I am a teacher by nature
and profession and love to
introduce new people to the
activities that I know well.
I just love being
in the woods or on the beach
and listening to the quiet -
instead of a radio.
-
Favorite Places:
: Ogunquit: sandy beach,
Marginal Way, the river, and
the cliffs. The nude beach in
Ptown, anyplace on The
Maine Island Trail,
Stonington-Penobscot Bay,
Cobscook Bay State Park
Campground, Jackson NH Ski
Touring Ctr, my woods and
fields.

Outdoor Experience:
: I am rated Class 4
whitewater but haven't done
whitewater in years - miss it.
With the sea kayak, I do
wear
a spray skirt all of the time
and I do not have a rudder
on my boat.
I backcountry ski without
metal edges - no telemark
but stem Christie. When I
ski, I rarely fall, (but when
going down steep terrain, I
look like I am "driving a bus
while trying to hold a beach
ball between my legs". I
use figure skates but I love
to play outdoor no-check
hockey with them.
