Simple direct story of Earth’s Ice Ages:

The Earth has had at least five major ice ages, and humans showed up in time for the most recent one. In fact, we’re still in it.

While we're partial to NDKs, we couldn't help being inspired by this aluminum kayak design.

born beside the lakes of france’s morvan region, the metallic kayak turns a newly acquired press brake into an excuse to get on the water.

Nigel Dennis & Julie Perren will be around our MIKCo Peaks Island Boathouse Friday-Sunday, August 28-30, for our NDK Gathering weekend of community building, sea kayak talk, and play paddling around Peaks.
All welcome to come add their local stories, personal interests, meet new kayakers, paddle a bit. It’s not a symposium, nor coach-y affair, it’s A Gathering of engaged, like-minded coastal sea paddlers.
MIKCo just needs your paperwork, hopefully received ahead of time, so we, too, can just hang out.
On our website: https://maineislandkayak.com/ndk-gathering-2/

If joining us for Saturday eve chili (meat & meatless) before Nigel’s talk and/or Sunday breakfast coffee, we’re asking for a $50 contribution.
You are each ‘on-your-own’ when on the water. Should you bring your helmet?

So come add to the Stone Soup of our NDK Gathering, for an hour, or for the day at our old Boathouse on the West shore of Peaks.
Rain or shine.
Until we get a paddle wet…
Tom Bergh, MIKCo, Peaks

A worthy overview article that ends with questions on the mystery. Sometimes we're lucky enough to experience these little creatures out on our coastal islands and shores.

After years of decline, butterfly populations are rising—for now.
