Adventurer Rebecca Grim and Conservationist Leonie Mahlke paddled the Inside Passage, a network of coastal waterways in the Pacific Northwest, to meet women fighting to protect the coast.

His boat and the driftwood it was tied to floated off in the night. He found his boat down the beach, but lost his paddle.
