>>Chris Duff was scheduled to leave Waimairi Beach, Christchurch >>at 8.00 >>a.m., Monday, 20 December for the start of his next section of his solo >>circumnavigation of the South Island of New Zealand. > >Do you have any further info? The photo was taken by John Kirk-Anderson and shows Chris surfing in, presumably yesterday (Sunday) as a demo. And before you ask, I've no idea why from an open beach as there's a much better sheltered place just a few kilometres further on which everyone else heads to and then leaves from. Report states - "The 42 year old carpenter from Washington State..." "...plans to complete the trip in April." >Type of kayak? Romany >Which way is he heading, south or north of ChCh? Clockwise round the country as everyone else has done, that is heading south from Christchurch. >Does he have a service crew? Not that I know of which is why he's claiming a solo trip, same way Brian Roberts did it. Paul Caffyn had shore support and a paddling companion for the first part of his trip. Alex . .
