Paul Treuer's Sea Kayaking Homepage

Well, this is the life! A magnificent evening paddling near the Apostle Islands on a calm Lake Superior. I don't know if it gets any better than this. (Photo taken by Terese Tomanek)

Here I am in the summer of 1995 paddling in Puget Sound looking for Orcas. Click on the photo if you would like a better look (though I doubt you will see any orcas).
