OK... in fairness... her solution was to paddle out on her own. But I, in all my pre-40-wisdom-less-ness was more than eager to join in. Heck...I had just done over 4000 miles going up and down the Alcan... and all that steering surely would have prepared my arms for the hours and hours of paddling to be done. Jeff and Terri decided to tag along too...2 days break from kiddos vs. paddling until your arms fall off...about an even trade.
In the end, it was awesome. Setting up tents in the wee hours, escorted by seals, scared shit-less by prankster whales sneaking up from behind. Jeff communicating with the them in his "special" boat vibrating way. Good times.

On Wisdom
Here are a few of the sage insights my post-40-pals relayed to me in the hours remaining before the clock struck midnight and my 30's vanished into bragging rights and embellishments:
When you turn 40 ...
- you will be wiser.
- you will hurt everywhere.
- you will get more hair in unexpected places.
- you will no longer have sex.
- you will forget shit.
There were more...but I can't remember them ...
At least one of those assertions I have blatantly defied in the 3 days that I have been 40 - but I'll not point out which one...cuz that's just way TMI.
As for wiser... well...this video seems to provide evidence to the contrary... other than myself, everyone should have been fully entrenched in post 40 wisdom, and yet...
