I played a bit and attached my training wheels for the Gulf-crossing – these are three OPTIONS on one boat, I don’t think I’ll need all of them together!

The two paddles are sitting more or less high strapped on to the kayak, either on the front or back of the cockpit with THULE roof rack straps. Eventually I can use a piece of THULE gear on the water :-)).

The floats are all made by Heinz Zölzer/ Germany. The yellow ones are a special creation! The big ones are regular big floats.

I’ll see what’s matching better the loaded boat and sea conditions…the front one is easier to strap on anyway and the back one presses a bit on my back on sleeping laid back…but we’ll see how I’ll pad myself. I can’t capsize ONE pair of those floats anyway, I tried this out in Germany already. And if it would be that rough that it may be close I won’t sleep and shouldn’t have gone…

Kokatat replaced my lost Ronin Pro PFD, ACR sent a new ResQFix EPIRB. I’m very happy to have such great sponsors. Thanks a lot! I won’t lose them again…
