Oyster Catchers are currently nesting all along the North Carolina outer banks.  These birds lay their eggs up on the top of the shore above the high tide line. It is an area of the shore that is normally covered with larger shells and other debris.  The birds dig a small indentation and lay 2-4 eggs which are disguised quite well.  This particular nest was almost impossible to see until I was right on top of it.

It has been interesting to me the transition that has occurred over the last 3 weeks or so.  For the first portion of my trip, when seeing birds, of which I have seen many, they were generally in large flocks.  As of late, you can tell that it has become nesting season.  The Gulls are pairing up as are the Terns.  The last week, as I tucked into the Intercoastal Waterway, I was amazed at the number of  nesting

The first five weeks of the expedition have been heavily influenced by the weather and the cold of this winter. The winds from the North have had a profound impact on my progress, forcing long days of paddling and limiting choices for camp sites. However, all that seems to be changing as the weather is easing up and I am catching up with my workload.

In the Keys of Florida, it is aways amazing to see how the marine life can make a habitat out of anything. Here, small mussels have used an old

My journey up the North American Atlantic Seaboard began six days ago in Key West, Fl. Family and friends gathered at the southernmost point in the US to watch me load a little orange kayak with all the gear and food I would need to begin this amazing expedition. The first six days have been filled with crazy weather and challenging camping. On day two Key West recorded some of the highest amounts of rainfall ever. The winds from the North have been blowing constantly, making for some very slow

Glenn Charles, an adventure traveler, writer, and nature photographer  will be embarking on a 10-month, 3,700-mile solo kayak expedition beginning February 1, 2010. During this period, Glenn will navigate the entire North America Atlantic Seaboard from Key West, Florida to Quebec City Canada. The solo expedition will be in conjunction with the One Ocean Project, a non-profit organization that uses human powered transportation to educate and create awareness about the mutual benefits the community-at-large derives from a balanced use of the worlds oceans, rivers and Great Lakes.


The ten-month-long journey will cover over 3,700 miles using only human-powered transportation - a simple orange kayak. As both an adventurer and photographer, Glenn will be using both still and video imagery to document the beauty of this critical body of water and coastline along with the environmental stresses it currently faces. A special emphasis will be placed on documenting the stresses being felt by key Atlantic Coast Wildlife including Manatees, Seals, Sea Lions, Turtles, Whales and Fish affected by Drift Netting.
