Will Bigelow mentoring

by Nancy on Oct.25, 2008, under Uncategorized

Will has a real knack for getting you to do the right thing. There’s not a lot of explaining, but just enough. Somehow, you trust him and you are inspired to try new things. Before you know it you’ve learned a new skill.

It was a real treat to have Maligiaq with us and to watch him demonstrate many of the Greenland Rolls.

Fun at the YMCA

by Nancy on Mar.15, 2008, under Uncategorized

Winter at the YMCA in Waltham was the next best thing to hanging out at the pond. The water was certainly warm enough and the company was great. Here are a few pictures from March 14, 2008.

Do you see the dog in this picture?  Why is everyone right-side up?

November at Walden

by Nancy on Nov.25, 2007, under Uncategorized

It’s November and the water is cold. Brrrrr….. but not yet frozen, so a number of hardy souls meet with a new crop of qajaqs, different from the last batch, but equally beautiful.

First Post: Walden

by Nancy on Nov.25, 2007, under Uncategorized

On any given day, as long as the water is not frozen, you may meet a number of people at Walden Pond in Concord, MA who come to share their love of the qajaq.

The qajaqs are beautiful and many are museum replicas. Most were hand made by their owners and are prized possessions.

Here is a picture from the fall of 2007.
