When I saw it as an option I knew I was going to sign up, regardless of the fact that it was billed as expert only, and I had little experience.

The website stressed that they only could take veteran kayakers due to the potentially dangerous environment.

I felt relatively confident that I would be able to pick up what I needed to know quickly, but at the same time I really didn't want to endanger myself or anyone else if I was miscalculating the difficulty level.

At our first kayaking meeting on board the M/S Expedition I voiced my concerns to our kayak master, Randall.

With a voice steeped in zen mastery he told me that I would be fine, and that I'd be steering in the back of a double kayak with my new partner Melissa.

Luckily for Melissa, Randall was right! Here they both are contemplating just how close we all came to disaster..

We ended up getting in our kayaks six times, and it was a real highlight of the trip.
