In this final episode of Series 7 of BatChat, we go out on a unique paddling journey along the River Great Ouse with the Bedfordshire Bat Group and the Viking Kayak Club. Bob Cornes from the bat group explains how the survey came about and as we embrace the peacefulness of the river we discuss bat behaviours in their environments. The episode showcases community-driven conservation efforts, emphasising the significance of grassroots initiatives in bat conservation. As well as recording various people taking part in the survey, your host Steve Roe has two bat detectors strapped to the front of his kayak; one tuned to 20kHz and another at 50kHz to record the sounds of the bats around us.See what the Bedfordshire Bat Group are up to.Viking Kayak ClubFind your local bat groupUse our voicemail feature to send us a recording so that we can share your bat experience in the next series.

In this week's Northwest Florida Fishing Report, host Joe Baya leans on two timely conversations to make sense of a windy, weather-scrambled week: offshore wahoo intel from Hilton's Real-Time Navigator and a Pensacola-area inshore kayak pattern that's producing reds and trout during warm windows. Joe starts with Butch Thierry and Tom Hilton to talk "good wahoo water" for boats running out of Pensacola, Destin, and Panama City. Tom explains dialing in a wahoo temp range in the upper 60s into the 70s to make clean edges pop, then stacking the odds with water color, current, structure, and bait. They key in on Destin FADs and the Oriskany area, why even small temp breaks can matter when they're tight and defined, and how current hitting contour can create the kind of feeding zone you want to fish. To wrap, Joe checks in with Brandon Barton of Emerald Waters Kayak Charters on a fun inshore bite: redfish and trout eating topwater well beyond first light when conditions warm up. Brandon breaks down his go-to spook-style baits, when he upsizes for ripple, and how he works saltwater chatterbaits through submerged grass in dirtier river water to trigger winter reds. He also shares how drone scouting is changing his view of where trophy-class trout and mixed schools are staging in shallow ICW water during midday warming periods, plus a quick look ahead to March kayak offshore opportunities for blackfin tuna and early-season reef fishing.   Sponsors: Dixie Supply and Baker Metal Killerdock Coastal Connection EXP Realty AFTCO SlipSki Solutions Black Buffalo Hilton's Realtime Navigator

Are you enjoying this? Are you not? Tell us what to do more of, and what you'd like to hear less of. Brushfires On The Outskirts Of ReykjavíkSunday saw a massive brushfire near Elliðavatn, on the outskirts of Reykjavík. South Iceland has been having a dry spell and the brushfires spread as a result of that. According to Veitur, the company that takes care of providing water to the city of Reykjavik, the water supply to the city, located next to where the main brushfire raged, escaped the worst, but only because of a favorable wind direction. All of the fire departments in the Capital Area had to be called out to deal with the situation and to put out the fire. Over the weekend, two other brushfires had to be put out, one in Kjalanes, and another one in Norðlingaholt, both within the boundaries of ReykjavíkSnowstorm On The South CoastThe Road just west of the town of Vík, and all the way west to Seljalandsfoss, was closed for two hours during a snowstorm on Sunday, which both saw a truck drift drift off the road, closing it, and a bus with 27 tourists running of the road and into a ditch, nobody was hurt. Traffic was severely interrupted, and farmers in the general area of the south coast helped the SAR with tractors, in pulling out cars that had skid off the road or got stuck in snow.Kayak Turns Out To Be A Small IcebergThe Police in Reykjavík were called on location because of what was thought to be a kayak upside down in Skerjafjörður. After the police arrived on a boat with a drone, it turned out that the supposed kayak was a lump of ice.Skiing Slopes In Akureyri OverflowedThe police had to be called out to control traffic in the ski area of Akureyri, Hlíðafjall. Icelandic schools had a winter break on Thursday and Friday, which saw thousands of parents take their kids skiing in the north. The caretaker of the skiing area was asked if he had any advice for the skiers. His reply? “No, but I'd like to point out to the municipalities to maybe not all have the winter break during the same week.”Reykjavík's Emergency Rooms Still OverflowingThis ongoing story has gone nowhere, although the Ministry of Health is reportedly trying to negotiate with a private health care company, Klínikin, for space for about 10-20 patients, of the around 100 spaces needed the elevate the overflow at the emergency facilities in Fossvogur hospital.Icelandic EastSupport the show------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SHOW SUPPORTSupport the Grapevine's reporting by becoming a member of our High Five Club: https://grapevine.is/high-five-club/Or donate to the Grapevine here:https://support.grapevine.isYou can also support the Grapevine by shopping in our online store:https://shop.grapevine.is------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is a Reykjavík Grapevine podcast.The Reykjavík Grapevine is a free alternative magazine in English published 18 times per year, biweekly during the spring and summer, and monthly during the autumn and winter.

Rivers are always photogenic, even telegenic, and rivers often become the setting for many films. Each year since 1981, the National Paddling Film Festival (NPFF) has provided a collective presentation of river films. This year's festival is happening on February 21, live and in person in Kentucky with a virtual streaming option available for the price of a cup of coffee. We have 3 guests bringing us details about the NPFF.

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Kamis, 12 Februari 2026Bacaan: "Jangan kamu menghakimi, supaya kamu tidak dihakimi." (Matius 7:1)Renungan: Suatu hari, di kereta api ada seorang anak gadis duduk di samping ibunya. Di dalam kereta, gadis itu memandang keluar jendela, dan tak henti-hentinya menyebut hal-hal yang ia lihat di sepanjang perjalanan dengan antusias. "Ma lihat, pohon-pohon itu. Wah, sawahnya benar-benar bagus ! Sungainya indah!" Di depan mereka duduk sepasang anak muda. Keduanya melihatnya dengan tatapan heran. Bagaimana tidak, untuk seukuran usianya, kelakuan anak gadis itu tampak begitu kekanak-kanakan dan berlebihan. Karena gadis tersebut terus saja menyebut hal-hal yang ia lihat, akhirnya salah satu dari anak muda itu mulai tidak tahan dan mengeluh kepada sang ibu. "Kenapa sih anak ibu lebay, sekali ? Masak, sungai, pohon, saja dibilang bagus? Norak! Kayak ga pernah lihat aja sebelumnya!" Si anak terdiam. Ibunya langsung menjawab, "Ya, anak saya ini memang sudah lama sekali tidak melihat hal-hal seperti ini. Beberapa tahun ini, matanya mengalami kebutaan, dan baru hari ini, setelah dioperasi seminggu yang lalu, penglihatannya kembali normal." Berapa banyak dari kita yang tanpa sadar juga bersikap demikian? Ketika melihat ada teman yang begitu bersemangat karena doanya dijawab, mungkin ada yang menilai bahwa ia berlebihan. Padahal, orang tidak tahu, berapa lama ia sudah menanti untuk jawaban doa itu. Saat pemilik Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg menikah dengan wanita yang parasnya biasa saja, banyak orang menilai bahwa pilihannya kurang tepat. Padahal, mereka tidak tahu dengan keadaan yang sebenarnya. Ya, orang hanya bisa menilai dari luar, cuma memerhatikan yang di permukaan saja. Mari kita belajar untuk tidak cepat menghakimi. Apa yang kita nilai benar, baik, salah, keliru atau tidak baik kadang-kadang faktanya tidak seperti yang kita pikirkan. Oleh sebab itu, berhati-hatilah sebelum bicara. Pikirkan dulu sebelum berucap dan menilai. Jika kita melakukannya, maka kita tidak akan menyinggung perasaan orang lain. Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa:Tuhan Yesus, ajarilah aku agar tidak mudah menghakimi orang lain, karena apa yang kupikirkan belum tentu sama dengan apa yang terjadi sesungguhnya. Amin. (Dod).

EP 223 - Its that time!!!  The whitebass are heading up in the creeks!!!  Listen to me and Roger talk about our kayak fishing trip we just returned from!  4 of us headed to an "undisclosed public lake" and launched our kayaks in the chilly morning air.  The air may have been cold but the fishing was hot!  Its time to knock the dust off the kayak and go fishing!

In this week's Northwest Florida Fishing Report, host Joe Baya and co-host Angelo DePaola of The Coastal Connection mix fishing and Gulf Coast living, with Angelo sharing a quick update on the Northwest Florida real estate market and what buyers and sellers should be thinking about as 2026 gets underway. On the fishing side, they sit down with Brandon Barton of Emerald Waters Kayak Charters to break down offshore winter flounder fishing on nearshore reefs—an overlooked cold-season bite that can be done by boat or kayak. Brandon covers the depth range he targeted (roughly 50–65 feet), how to stay positioned on structure in wind and current, and how to read the subtle flounder bite and time your hookset. They also dig into the simple, effective tackle approach—bucktail-style jigs with durable strip bait like bonita, dialing in jig weight for solid bottom contact, and why a net matters for landing flounder consistently—then close with winter safety priorities and a reminder on stewardship when fish are stacked up offshore.

Google's latest AI search updates are pushing the experience closer to a personalized travel concierge, blending answers, follow-up questions, and private context into a single planning flow. As more inspiration and decision-making happens inside Google's interface, travel brands face a tougher challenge staying visible — and differentiated — before a traveler ever clicks through. The 2026 FIFA World Cup is also reshaping expectations for corporate travel, with companies treating the tournament as a multi-city business platform rather than a single-event trip. From executive hosting to incentive travel, the opportunity is big — but so are the logistical risks tied to visas, borders, and timing across three countries. And at Kayak, a leadership change signals how much travel search itself is in flux. As longtime CEO Steve Hafner shifts focus toward AI innovation and a new chief takes the helm, the move underscores a broader transition in how travelers compare options and move from question to decision. On today's Skift Daily Briefing, ⁠Sarah Dandashy⁠⁠ breaks down what these stories say about personalization, event-driven travel, and the future of search in the travel industry.

Ben Stookesberry paddles kayaks in his home state of Montana, and around the world. In his teen years he learned to make home movies showing off his rollerblading moves, and in college he learned to kayak. Today he blends the paddling and film making as he runs rivers in global settings. He has created deep and lasting friendships in his travels, and returns to rivers again and again, to paddle more stretches, to learn more, and sometimes to engage in protection work. In this episode, Ben talks through all of this with us, and goes into depth about his current paddling and film efforts on the Jatunyacu and Mulatos Rivers in Ecuador.GUESTSBen Stookesberry@benstookesberryBio @ KokatatBio @ Jackson KayakLatest Film:  ¡Ay Chihuahua!Diego Robles:  @ecuskayaker RESOURCESEcuadorian Rivers Institute@ecuadorianriversSteven Donzinger storySavages, book, by Joe Kane PADDLERS TO FOLLOW@ecuskayaker (Diego)@williehenkel@wyatt_doyle@salmonsourcetosea@elizabeth.tobey@brookehess@oceansandmountains (Hailey)@pedroolivakaiak@riverratmountainkat@mayuwarmikayak@teepee_boys SPONSORSDenver Area Nissan Dealers@nissanusa     THE RIVER RADIUSWebsiteRunoff signup (episode newsletter)InstagramFacebookApple PodcastSpotifyLink Tree
