Susan Conrad talks about her 78-day solo paddle from Washington to Sitka!About this Event
What happens when you put one woman, one tiny kayak, and 1,200 miles of the Inside Passage together? Chaos, beauty, questionable decisions, and great stories. Join Susan Conrad as she zips through the highlights of her 78-day solo paddle from Washington to Sitka—marathon days on the water, surprise friendships in far-flung places, awkward standoffs with grizzlies, and the ongoing quest to stay upright, optimistic, and un-eaten. Along the way, she’ll spotlight British Columbia’s proposed Marine Protected Areas in the Great Bear Rainforest and pay homage to expedition-paddling legend Audrey Sutherland.
It’s armchair adventure at its finest—no dry suit required.
Susan Marie Conrad is a long-distance adventure kayaker, Explorers Club National Fellow, and certified dark chocolate addict. She prefers her boats long and skinny, her journeys slow and salty, and her gear slightly damp. She’s written three books about paddling thousands of miles through the Inside Passage and is currently working on her fourth. When she’s not floating off the map, you might find her snuggled up with her tabby cat, Moxie, and an exceedingly good book.
