It’s been a few months since my last post. I’ve been paddling every weekend and catching up on chores around the house. I also had the chance to join in on the TIPS (Traditional Inuit Paddlers of the Southeast) retreat which was a lot of fun. I ended up learning a couple new rolls to add to the mix?.
Now it’s time to get paddling again on another adventure. I’m sitting at the gate waiting for my flight to Rome and then on to Ancona. I’ll be meeting several good friends over there and expect to have a really nice mini adventure. The first few days we’ll be camping as we paddle around the Gargano Peninsula. 
After that we’ll stay in guest houses and paddle in several different locations including some mountain lakes. The villages where we will stay are off the beaten path so that should give us a great opportunity to experience the true Italian culture and have some great food. All that on top of some fabulous paddling. Here are the general locations we’ll be paddling. 
Marco owns Travel in Kayak and will be meeting us at the airport in Ancona. He has done all the planning and logistics and is taking care of all gear. Besides clothing I’ve only packed a sleeping bag and one Greenland paddle plus a few electronics. After the extensive planning and gear collection for my CT paddle this feels a bit odd.
The Paddle Tracks will be up and running so you’ll be able to follow along. I’ll upload pictures and Paddle Posts whenever I can get a WiFi connection. At the least, I should be able to post most days when we are staying in guest houses.
More to follow from Italy ?
Happy Paddling
