Outrigger Canoes

It doesn't get any better than a nice Sunday morning paddle. While it was pretty chilly, it warmed up quickly and the river was like glass. There is such a core serenity of being on the water. The company is always fantastic. I often think about Lewis and Clark with Sacajawea paddleing a canoe down the river to the ocean. The outrigger canoe is a polynesian canoe. The Hawaiian people originally made them from one, straight Koa tree. Even here in Portland, we follow many of the Hawaiian traditions when paddeling. It's pure joy!
