Very nice article, thank you for the support! My best goes out to everyone in their respective levels of quarantine, struggle, cabin-fever, as well as search to do good for others in this time of crisis. I’m going to have a lot more free time on my hands now, as a sea kayak guide, who has no idea when my next guiding job will be. I’m curious to hear from others in this industry who find themselves out of work.. what will you do to earn an income and to contribute to paddle sports and connect with your paddling community? I’d love to hear from others.
