I started coaching and guiding for Manhattan Kayak Co. in 2006, but only now (2026) became a Sea Kayak Leader (BCU) and Aktivitetsleder Hav (Norges Paddleforbund).​​

 

Together we will build on your skills, confidence and enthusiasm of this fantastic sport in this amazing, tiny boat.

​

Sea-Fever is a term as created by John Masefield in a 1885 poem for describing his passion for the sea. John was a trained merchant seaman, and later became a poet who was appointed a British poet laureate in 1930.

Sea-Fever

by John Masefield, 1885

​

I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,

And all I ask is a small boat and a star to steer her by;

And the bow's spray and the wind’s song and the paddle splashing,

And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking.

 

I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide

Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;

And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,

And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.

 

I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,

To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife;

And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,

And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
