We know Valentine’s Day has passed, but that doesn’t mean you have to write off romantic sufferfests for the year. Or maybe, not so romantic, depending on your interpretation—which is solely up to the beholder.
When it comes to taking trips into the boondocks, that beholder is Erik Boomer, as well as his partner, Sarah McNair-Landry. Last year they took off on a 45-day sea kayaking and climbing trip together to Baffin Island, working through the ins and out of a relationship while piecing together the ins and outs of paddling narrow passages through Arctic ice, climbing remote granite faces, and running first descents of some of the islands raging whitewater. They chronicled the trip in a short film of the expedition, tapping Rush Sturges as Executive Producer.
We caught up with Boomer for a few thoughts on the mambo combo expedition:
