Why were you inspired to do this?

Love of marine life -- want to get close!

What were 3 things you did to make this happen?

A good friend gave me a trip to Maui in January -- the month to go for whales

In Maui by myself I had to paddle a single Kayak with a group of people in double kayaks -- not easy to keep up!

High fitness level to be on this trip

How did you feel once you had accomplished this?

IT WAS AMAZING!!! The whales came right up to us including a mom and baby, the baby was nursing. Can't wait to do this again in Johnstone Strait hopefully.
