Kayaking in June

I've broken a promise that I made to myself at the beginning of 2022: produce and release at least one video on The Brown Knowser YouTube channel each month.

Last hear was no problem. I released 17 or 18 videos. DW and I did a lot of kayaking, and we travelled to both Mexico and Portugal. Plus, I added a couple of videos that were on my old YouTube channel.

And while I have released 12 videos so far, this year, I'm not maintaining my goal of one video—minimum—each month. Sometimes, I go longer than a month between videos. I even went something like six weeks between releases.

I know, I'm splitting hairs. But if I let time slip between releases, I fear that it might only get worse and people will lose interest in my channel.

If I'm willing to let six weeks slip by, why not eight?

DW and I have kayaked several times this year. Not as often as we had in the previous three years, but often enough. I've carried video cameras with me on most trips but I've only posted one of these video on YouTube all year.

Until now.

In June, we went to Algonquin Provincial Park for two nights, camping in a rented tear-drop trailer in an electrical hook-up site. While we liked sleeping in the camper, we didn't enjoy being shoulder-to-shoulder with other campers.

But the kayaking itself was excellent.

It's taken me months, since we've returned, to extract the video clips from my 360-degree camera and other devices, edit them, and compile them into a succinct story. But this weekend, since I was feeling under the weather and wasn't inclined to do much else, I hunkered in front of my laptop and put a video together (I had almost half of it already done, earlier, but hadn't touched the project in weeks).

Last evening, I uploaded it to my channel and I'm now eager to share it with you. It's 21 minutes long, so grab a snack, get yourself a beverage, and give it a view.

As always, if you like my videos, please subscribe to my channel and give them the ol' thumps up.

I'll eventually get around to the other kayaking videos from this year but my next focus is the video footage that I captured on our recent trip to Southern Ontario. I'm hoping to have it done by the beginning of November.

And I hope I get back to my regular schedule.

Happy Monday!
