I had some spare minutes the last days to work on what may seem to someone who doesn’t know me like a “huge bible of egoism”…
my “Best of…” 2009 guest book is ready!
You have all right in the world to ask “why I put together a “Best of…” book?”
There was one comment on the 19.09.2009 from Pam – “You must be the Queen of positive self-motivation!” …I think this goes directly to the point and probbaly inspired me eventually to put such a thing up. Thanks, Pam!
Reading the quintessence of all your great supportive comments after a tough day really brings me up again…thanks very much for all those praises! (updated regularly)
Don’t worry…I’ve got Greg who brings me down to earth again :-))

Hello Freya,
You’re almost there thank god. The last leg is always the toughest since the goal is within your grasp. Take very good care and reach safely.
All Australia, and the world wish you best of luck coming round the bend.
Trinidad kayakers look to you as the goddess of sea kayaking. Take care and we’ll be rooting for you at the finish.
Best wishes to all your support crew , sponsors and your family.
Hey Freya,
please come back soon. Your blog is a drug for me. I dosn´t have work, woman and house.
I need it always.
The poor man
There is a saying in spanish that goes “In the oven’ s door you may burn the bread”. Yes, you are in the homestrech of your lifetime adventure. In mountaneering ,most accidents happen on the way down from the summit,when the climber is less alert,on the home strech. In sailing ,a downwind is dangerous,I sail and I prefer a side wind…even a headwind. Please be careful with downwinds from here on and be alert.Do not let premature triumphalism overcome you.Best ol luck and clear waters.
Only read in our Dutch newspaper last friday of your trip. I presume 250 days to late, but be assure. We from Holland will look enthousiastic to each next step.
Theres a little window of oppurtunity to get out today. All the best for that long run to windy harbour
Inspiration takes many many forms!!!
Hi Freya i went saturday Morning for a walk here in Busselton and saw a Person in the Kayak, after reading the Paper i was thinking that was maybe you? did you left sat. morn. at the Boatramp? ANnyway hows it going do you have a hotwater Bottle. Cheers Have a good Night from us all in Busselton
Liebe Freya habe gerade realisiert du sprichst German . Wo ist dein zu Hause?
It’s great to see you around the cape and on the home stretch Freya! With luck, you’ll have following winds from here on. You’ll need them as you pass the cliffs of the Bight,,,but you’ll handle the Bight, as you’ve handled everyhting else!
Hopefully, I’ll see you when you pass through Victor Harbor. Keep on paddling, and inspiring the rest of us!
Hallo Freya,
ich habe Dein “Best of…” 2009 guest book mal kurz inspiziert. Ich fürchte für Dich, daß je näher Du Deinem endgültigen Ziel kommst, Du Dich nicht mehr vor Widmungen retten kannst.
Auch wenn´s deshalb schwer fallen mag, paddle so eifrig weiter wie bisher. Der Weg ist das Ziel.
Der, der Dich von nunan von belanglosem Couderwelsh verschonen will (vielleicht, evtl., möglich….)
