Islands, Eagles, Orcas and Legends
Monday November 22nd at Rusty's I finally got to meet the fellow behind the voice I had been talking with for the past few weeks. Ken Campbell is just the kind of person I thought he'd be....personable, fun, friendly, straigtforward, knowledgeable and comfortable to be around. Ken was coming to California for the Thanksgiving holiday. He talked to me about giving a slide presentation to anyone interested in seeing some slides of the best sea kayaking locations throughout Washington and British Columbia.

CKF had a great turnout. We had quite a few members show up including our fearless leader Len, George & Winnie, John P., Pat, Ron, Gordon, Melissa and a couple from Ventura.

I didn't know what to expect. As this informative evening went along, I realized this part of our continent I needed to visit. I had been going up to this area for the last few years to salmon fish with my brother. Now Ken has opened up another door for me.....paddling right next to a pod of killer whales! I'm going! I'll be there this year!

Ken owns and operates Azimuth Expeditions located in Tacoma Washington. His website is www.azimuthexpeditions.com and his address is 5202 S. Tacoma Way, Tacoma, Wa., 98409. Phone is 252-474-8155.

Ken mentioned to me that it was his passion for kayaking that led him to the touring business he's in today. I'm so glad that we have folks like Ken to share these avenues so people like me can experience the whales in different parts of the world!

Thanks Ken and we'll see you in the fall!
