About Us
We've always thought work should be fun, so early on we combined the things we love doing together--writing and the outdoors. Twenty-five years later, we have eight books, and our own outfitting business to take people to our favorite places. Visit us at our paddling shop on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, Spring through Fall. Come winter we guide kayak expeditions in the Florida Keys and Everglades from the pages of our Florida Keys Paddling Atlas, and in Costa Rica.
