I just noticed I leaped up to the “immortals” in wikipedia :-)) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freya_Hoffmeister Does anyone know how this works, and who set this entry up?

Usual chores, laundry, shopping, e-mailing, blog-updating, phone calls…I tried to get a hairdresser’s appointment, but the only lady in town was fully booked out, so I need to keep on paddling with some grey and bleached hair insted of with my dark brown natural color…no, I’m not vein… 🙂

This was an easy, lovely paddle along steep red sand cliffs. At some point, marked clearly as a “sandy water area” on my map, I saw on the horizont a *yellow* lin ecoming up. I was hoping that the sand wasn’t dry as it looked like from the distance, forcing me in a wide berth around […]

Hundreds of cormorants are living on that beach! I had a nice rest day! The sky was kind of overcasted all day, so the tent didn’t get too hot. I was chatting on my cell phone from the high red dune all morning with various people, had a nap on lunchtime, and climbed the dune again […]

John, vice president of the Carnarvon rescue team, picked me up at 5.45am to be ready to launch in first light at 6.30. Three guys came out again with their rescue boat that early morning, thanks for that! Once we left the harbour channel, I was aking them if there was enough water to cut straight across […]

No paddling today! Blog updating, e-mailing, pre-checking Google Earth, repairs, washing, shopping…the usual chores. The weather is a bit unsettled now after that lovely week, but I’ll paddle tomorrow across Shark Bay to Cape Peron, and then will head towads Denham to wait what the weather will be doing next week for the cliff section. Patience…  […]

It was a calm, quiet Millpond paddling day way offshore along sandy beaches and dunes only. Boring? Yes…if there wouldn’t have been the whales spouting and jumping, and some big fish frequently jumping as well. Pure, simpe nature, and I was stopping quite frequently to simply watch and listen. Eventually I was in cell phone range, […]

A stranded whale, spouting high? No, just Point Quobba blowhole…   The scary launching through the dumper of Red Bluff was not tough at all that morning, when you have a bunch of helpers coming along to give you a good push! All my dinner hosts and two more guys with their kids came down […]

  I should have signed up for that – if they would do a “kayaker recovery massage” as well? And I wonder what the “other body treatments available” were all about??? Maybe they were for sexy male’s surfer’s bodies only…     I did well on taking off paddling today – the winds felt strong […]

  To reach open water, I even had to back paddle 2 km today! Last night it looked like there was a reef gap furher south, but this morning there were breakers allover…so back into Gnarraloo Bay, and paddling close to the scary breakers out to the relatively quiet open sea. About 5 km extra […]
