Coffee @ Ten: Life on Superior: a 1,000 Mile Kayak Solo

Tom is an author who writes under the pseudonym of Stewert James; he's an artist; he's an adventurer exploring in his kayak, hiking with his backpack, or biking National Parks from Alaska to Maine; and after more than a dozen close encounters with bears in the backcountry, he's thinking he's lucky to have lived past the nine-lives stage. He's retired and resides in Petoskey with his wife, Christine.
