Brave Kayaker

A Swedish woman, Renata Chlumska, started solo paddling in Seattle last fall and has paddled all winter, down around the Gulf and now up the Atlantic Coast. I've been following her since her first day in the water. Pretty amazing that she can meet those challenges and now has made it to New York City. This link is to her website...http://www.renatachlumska.com/, a journal in which she chronicles her trip each day. Very inspiring and the photos are beautiful.

My Swedish grandmother arrived at the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, many years ago and it's fun to watch Renata arrive there now, too.

Renata will be in our area sometime in late August , according to her plan. She will travel via
the Copper Country on Lake Superior.
