Circumnavigation of Lake Pontchartrain in a Canoe/Kayak
My friend Dane and I are planning to, at the very least, cross Lake Pontchartrain along the 24 mile Causeway Bridge [orange line on map below]. We have already completed a test run along the Hwy. 11 bridge [green line on map below]. The trip was 10 miles round trip (5 there and 5 back) and was completed in 4 hours. The trip went very smoothly aside from me baking my camera in the sun. My main goal is to completely circumnavigate Pontchartrain (approx. 136 miles) in what would probably be a 5-6 day rowing/camping trip.

Slices of America Kayak Tour of the Louisiana Barrier Islands - Postponed due to BP Disaster
Some time in the future, I hope to successfully complete a 130 mile kayak tour of the Louisiana barrier islands, from Terrebone to the mouth of the Mississippi. The costs for such a voyage are beyond my reach, so I will be fundraising to reach my goal. Gear needed includes: kayak, portable desalination, satellite phone (probably rental), food, and a weather station or VHF radio. A date for this trip has not been scheduled.
