I found it very interesting. As I can read both paddlers ( Wade >Fairley and Angus Finney ) are from Auckland, Australia, and paddled Pitaraks. >There´s information about all the equipement they´ve used, including clothing. Auckland isn't in Australia (yet). I wondered why their fully loaded kayaks felt tippy, that's the time mine actually feels stable? The other trips he mentions down there, the second one, a commercial venture, organised by Australians on a Russian ship - we had one of the paddlers talking to us recently at our club meeting. They used doubles, Prijon Odyseas (sp). Their paddling area was the west side of the Antarctic Peninsula. Did I miss it or was there no date for Wade's expedition? Alex . .
