Good Friends
updated: Sep 08, 2012, 10:00 AM

By David Powdrell

I'm a very lucky guy. I've got amazing friends.

Here's the abbreviated recap of our story: 5 years ago, we drove to the Oregon border to kayak the final miles of a 13-year long tradition of kayak camping various sections of the California coast. Due to a health hiccup, I couldn't finish that leg but my compadres, Johnny "Lonewolf" Beardsmore and Mark Levy finished the entire 1,109 miles. Phil Morreale and Derek Levy joined that leg of the adventure.

For 5 years, I'd been visualizing my completion of the last leg. When I sent an email to the fellas to see if anyone might be interested in paddling from Point St. George to Humboldt Bay again, among the more dangerous sections of the California coast, they all gave a resounding thumbs up.

Good friends are worth their weight in gold. I'll never be able to repay them for helping me finish the adventure of my lifetime.
