I've met Karen Wrenn and her husband John three times in the last year and they're great people. Karen is a very talented paddler and athlete (windsurfing/kiteboarding)...and mother of two young kids.




Here's Karen with my daughter at last year's Coastal Urge May race



She just embarked on a very challenging trek....to paddle the entire length of the Channel Islands off southern CA....150 nautical miles. Here is the press release.

You can keep up with her progress from Twitter feeds http://twitter.com/#!/SUPkaren)...or at the Keanon web site...and I imagine at some point, she'll have updates on her own site and blog.
