I have been writing my own life stories for some time, and now I want to write one about my wonderful husband Stan, my hero.

This missive covers 2 topics: the 1st boat that I owned which was never named, and boat names at our desert retreat in Indio, CA.

2022 was another fun-filled year packed with sports & social activities in the hills, beaches, mountains & desert of CA.

A brief history of our whitewater kayaking years ending with my last kayak, which Stan named "Barbara's Last Run," and my last paddle in it.
