This issue of the SK Newsletter we’re taking a look at the North Atlantic, a region in our Resource Section and our web-page advertising links. It’s a very big area stretching from New York City, the heart of the business world, to Halifax, the heart of the Canadian Maritimes.

Having grown up in western New York, I know from experience there is nothing better than that first day in spring when you can feel that winter has released the land from its icy grip. The weather in the North Atlantic is getting a bit warmer and the people in the area are getting out more and enjoying the outdoors. Over the course of a few short weeks, life changes: snow tires come off the cars and winter wardrobes go back into the closet. Window screens replace storm windows, and patio furniture comes out of storage to bask in the sun.

If you live in the North Atlantic, I’d encourage you to take a break after your spring chores and take advantage of the services offered by our advertisers that provide kayaking services in the area. Whether you are a college student looking to go play, a young adult looking to make a weekend into an adventure or, like me, just hoping to make the best of my time away from the office, there is a wonderful variety to be found in the area. If you are already thinking of paddling anywhere in the region, the knowledgeable folks who advertise with us would be happy to hear from you while you are doing your planning.
