Crossing the Burrill Inlet to the parking lot, I was stepping almost on some of these 60 cm long stingrays…   I arrived at Burrill Beach last night in fully quiet wind and water, and it was still 100% quiet at 5 am when I was waking as usual… Shall I stay or shall I […]

 padddling topless for a while to get some sun on my sore skin…   I had to motivate myself today to get off the lovely Broullee Island, but the wind was quiet as a millpond early morning, so I needed to go…forcasted again stron headwind later in the day, see how far we’ll get…   It […]

a meeting on the water with a paddler of the other kind…   Launching this morning at about 8 am, hesitating to go at all, as upcoming strong headwinds were forecasted again. There was quite a crowd from the campsite gathering on my launching, as I was passing a promo card to my friendly neighbours and to […]

Dave and I started the day early, on the water at 6am. Dave set up Nadgee Kayaks, but recently sold it to Lawrence. He is also known as “Crocodile Winkie” after saving his mate’s life by jumping on a crocodile’s back and poking in the crocs eyes… He is quite a tall strong man, and using an almost empty […]

WHO CAN HELP???   %&$§&%$!!! But probably my mistake… I do use three memory sticks to save my pictures and stuff, Flash Voyager from Corsair, with 32 GB each. www.corsairmemory.com One of them – my MAIN ONE!!! – is not flashing any more – litarally – the light on plugging in doesn’t flash and shows […]

The NSW South Coast Mafia, Lawrence Geoghegan (TITS III Antarctica) and David Winkworth, aka “Crocodile Winkie” in Lawrence workshop Lawrence working on my fragile epic kayak in “Lawrie” style…   And Lawrie *did* repair my epic boat…as Peter Provis work on my broken seat proved unsuccessfully not to last  too long as time pressure didn’t let it harden [...]

A wet, but still “black” Traveller’s Tree silk scarf plus Blu Bandoo visor works well to cool my head down. I don’t like hats, as my hair has to go in a bun first. Therfore this strange bump on the back of my head…And I’m not fiddling with sunglasses on the water.   Launching late again […]

The lycra rash-guard I was wearing the last two weaks was giving me a nice salt water rash…   I need to try some different paddling top…Peter Provis gave me one of his thermals, and I hope the next days my skin will look better…the rash was there already the first days, but developed pretty badly […]
