A New Guide's Perspective

So my name is Tyler. I've been with Southeast Expeditions for about a month and it has been a blast. The guides I've gotten to interact with and get to know are some pretty awesome people. Things can get pretty hectic at times, but I've started to learn to live a day at a time and I think that is a very appropriate way to live here on the Eastern Shore. This is such a beautiful place and I'm very lucky to get to live and paddle here. On Sunday I shadowed a trip led by Marshall (he owns the Cape Charles Coffee House. Stop by and say hi if you get a chance) and we experienced something totally odd for the area. We led a trip in the fog. While we didn't get to see very much in terms of wildlife, we were blessed with the ambient noise of the foghorn, a new sound for our guests. It was cool to get to paddle through the salt marsh with limited visibility. It gave you the feel of truly being out in nature. If you are ever in the Cape Charles area, we would love to take you out with us and who knows.....maybe you'll get to experience something cool in nature too!
