Read the journalWe started Vendovi to make one very good bag. We still do. In between, we go out on the water, and this is where we write it down: the places worth the trip, how to get there, and the few things worth carrying.
Paddling · Desolation Sound
A hundred and four miles to Toba Inlet
Three and a half days by kayak into the warmest salt water north of Mexico, with bears for company and not a whale in sight.

The Salish Commuter
Waxed canvas from the sailmaker's tradition, Horween leather, a brass buckle of our own and a liner cut from racing sailcloth. A bag with the ruggedness of a seaworthy craft.
The first run sold out. The next one is being cut.

The Dispatch
A letter from the water, now and then: new stories, the gear we actually carried, and first word when the next run of bags is ready. No noise.
