7:30: Featured Presentation

 

In 2007 Derrick Mayoleth of Baraboo, Wisconsin hatched a plan to ease slowly into the world of expedition paddling. He would choose a
destination that took less than 30 days to complete, choose a place where the ocean waves were warmed year round by the hot tropical sun, a place where you would never find yourself too far from civilization and a hot meal. And that's when the fun started. . . .

Derrick Mayoleth shares his experiences from his circumnavigation of the Island of Puerto Rico.
