Kayaking the Inside Passage - Paddling North Preview
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- Adventurer Rebecca Grim and conservationist Leonie Mahlke paddle for four months, from Salt Spring Island in British Columbia, Canada, to Glacier Bay, Alaska, to meet women fighting to protect the coast. They kayaked in the Inside Passage, a network of coastal waterways in the Pacific Northwest, and home to the Kwakwaka'wakw, Coast Salish, Oweekend, Heiltsuk, Tsimshian and Tlingit First Nations.

Though some whales unexpectedly surfaced near us during our trip, it's important that everyone is aware of regulations and guidelines to reduce risks to marine species. See www.SeeABlowGoS... for more information.

Beautiful job ladies. Glad there are people like you in this world..
The question at the beginning of this wonderful film is, "Why do you want to paddle the inside passage?" And is answered by the conclusion, "Why isn't everyone doing this?"
For those who have not been lucky enough to experience such a trip in person this film is a good explanation of why it should be on your bucket list.
so glad you enjoyed it!
Great job on this film. I really enjoyed the perspective and filming and the story telling. Rebecca , Leonie and all those interviewed seem like great people to know. You may be familiar with my son's film story on "The Passage" too. ( Day's Edge Productions) I was triply blessed with the chance to canoe the coastline, an amazing family to share it with and a son who turned it into a memory.
Hank you are an incredible craftsman with camera and film!
Thank you so much!
I kayaked (solo) the inside passage from Seattle to Skagway twice - 10 weeks on the classic route the first trip and 14 weeks the second trip with 3 side trips up fjords to tidewater glaciers and another side trip to glacier bay before paddling into Skagway. I had exceptionally perfect weather the first time and more typical weather the second with ~ 2 weeks total either wind or rain bound. The wildlife both on land and sea is unrivaled and the primitive camping is spectacular. If you do this trip, do yourself a favor and DON'T set a particular end date because paddling in conditions beyond your abilities can be dangerous. Otherwise, enjoy!
excellent advice!
Wow. Very inspiring.and I really like those sails you have
Thank you very much!
I am gearing up to do this in a hobie adventure sail kayak.
Amazing landscapes
thank you!
I can't believe more people don't watch your videos. They're amazing keep at it mate. I get so much joy from watching them
Thanks so much! That's very nice of you to say -- and there's definitely more to come.
Just came across this wonderful film, and it speaks right out of my heart... Great work, love it!
Thanks, Tom! So glad you enjoyed it!
Nice work! I paddled from Prince Rupert to Port Hardy on the outside summer before last and the west coast of Vancouver Island a few years ago and the story rings so true from what I saw. Jaw dropping beauty, but log-jammed beaches, huge amount of plastic from industry including piles of black plastic pipes of various diameters (from fish farms?), floats, nets, ropes, engine oil containers, etc. But there is also what I didn't see - large areas of rocks for sea lions and and seals to haul out...empty. I talked to an old First Nation man on the northern Vancouver Island coast, and he said that it used to be full of life. Eye candy, but impoverished when one looks enough to actually see and imagine what this must have been like and how easily we let it slip away. Wisdom comes from knowledge and we are so lacking in both.
This is out of sight and out of mind, unfortunately.
Glad you liked the video! Sounds like you had a great trip. And yes, the more awareness we can generate about conservation, the better chance of fixing some of those problems.
Hank, you are an awesome filmmaker and story teller . Your videos are just amazing. Please do complete the NZ series. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the 10 episodes.
Hi Leena! Thanks for being so kind! I'm sure the New Zealand series will surface again sometime. I'm just busy with a lot of stuff right now. :)
Looks spectacular! Would love to see the entire film.
Thanks, Robb! The full film isn't available yet, but hopefully sometime soon.
Is it available now ?
Cool video and important message.
glad you liked it!
that was lush!, thanks x
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very cool!! Thanks for the video and for raising awareness!!
Glad you liked it!
Great videography, great storytelling - the whole production was inspiring - thank you for posting this.
Thanks so much, Stuart! Glad you liked it!
Excellent video, fantastic film work
Thanks, Mike! So glad you liked it!
I watched your new video on Thanksgiving, Hank, which seems (to me) particularly appropriate. We all have much to be thankful for on this insanely gorgeous planet, a planet we seem hell-bent on despoiling. Your video captures both the beauty and hints at the ruin - and still inspires viewers such as me.
Meanwhile, you find your groove. Your life’s path has taken you to some odd corners of the planet and some careers that only lurk at the edges of your passions, interests, and talents. This new video, I believe, reveals your true destiny: filmmaker. I look forward to your new videos... and perhaps new movies as well.
Best holiday wishes to you and your family, near and far,
David
Hi David! Thanks so much for your kind words. I'm really glad you enjoyed this preview of the amazing trip these two women did. The environmental issues raised in the preview are important to them and me, and I hope that their trip helps acquaint even more people with these issues, especially with their additional film that hasn't been seen yet. As for new, upcoming films, I'd love to! We'll see what's in store for the coming year -- that can fit into a tiny budget. :)
I love this!! We have to be mindful to protect our beautiful planet.
Glad you liked it, Liliana! I agree!
excellent story telling
Thanks, Rick!
Nice work as always, Hank! Now we just need to go packrafting 😜.
Yes! Do you have anything specific in mind? Drop me an FB message. Brainstorming for 2019 sounds good to me.
@@HankLeukart There are a couple first descents in the Canadian Rockies I have in mind, but don't know dates yet.
Nice video and nice adventure.Thanks
Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it!
Yeah, I was wondering what happened to the rest of the NZ trip
Hi Jonathan! Haha, I wasn't sure many cared! I have about 10 more New Zealand episodes that are filmed but not yet edited (it's a lot of work), but I'm also mulling over exactly how/when to continue the series. Hearing that people are interested is motivating. Thanks so much for watching!
Please bring the NZ series back... Great work mate...
There will be more of the NZ series this year! But it's lots of work to build. :)
8:04 "Why isn't everyone doing this"
Because every girl I know would rather live in a luxury hotel than trip with me in the wild.
lol gotta find the right ones
This was so well put together. Thank you for this! Also do know where you can purchased the sails used with their kayaks? Kayaking Nana from Ontario…
I realize it is a preview, but a map and some more info would be wonderful. There are paddlers who don't live right on the BC coast!
i agree. if we ever get a full length version done, we'll definitely include maps and a lot more details! thanks for watching!
incredible!
thank you!
Are you still doing the NZ series
Hi, Josh! Haha, I wasn't sure many cared! I have about 10 more New Zealand episodes that are filmed but not yet edited (it's a lot of work), but I'm also mulling over exactly how/when to continue the series. Hearing that people are interested is motivating. Thanks so much for watching!
@@HankLeukart I played it to my mum and we enjoyed watching it together and you cant leave us on a cliff hanger like that.
We're interested! Go, @@HankLeukart !
