Hi PW´s - sounds funny :-)) These message is espescially for all paddlers in the direct german neighbourhood. Today I´ve launched my new collecting order for products from Pains Wessex (www.pwss.com) and McMurdo (mcmurdo.co.uk) and also Cyalume light sticks and other stuff. 1,5 years ago I´d found a company here in Germany (www.pyropo.de), selling these stuff together with a new distributional concept. It allows all "normal" persons, to order directly from the main distributor (importeur) and the more you order, you more you can save (money). But most importing thing was and is it still, to explain the paddlers the usefulness of lare and also their limits. And for several paddlers it is a problem to get the flare-stuff, because here are so few dealers and silly regulations on flares. Last year I´ve ordered for about 5600 DM alltogether (was about eeeh, around over 2500 USD ?), it was a great deal. This year I get better charges so it will be cheaper than last year. It is a NON-PROFIT order for me. I earn nothing. Everybody pays the same but I like to see when people give more then necessary because I collect all the money and give it to the DGzRS (www.dgzrs.de)afterwards. It is our kind of Life Boat Instituation (as it is named in the UK), responsible for all life-saving acts on sea (it is not supported by the state. Normally I offer these order to all german sea-kayaker and all people who need some flare stuff (rockets, smoke and bunring signals) or lightsticks aso. Now, Europe had become a little bit more closer with our new money, the EURO. And I would like to ask our direct neighbour paddlers (Netherlands, Danmark), if they need some flare stuff? Maybe they could save some money on this way, too? Only problem would be to get the flares to them, but I´m pretty sure, we could manage that. All informations will be available by next time at www.mariangunkel.de/temp/pwpreis.htm (hey, a Paddlewisenheimer, too) - but in german. I will write a short translation of the price list next days, and maybe we could launch it at Marian´s side also. Haha, Marian will look surprised now, I´ll bet. Ah, and next month the newest COSPAS-SARSAT EPIRB from McMurdo arrives on the market. The Fastfind and Fastfind PLUS (with integrated GPS). Very flat and small EPRIBS, really ideal to wear them in a life saving jacket or in a kayak. I´ll could order get them too, for a really good price. All interested people should contact me please. The collection of orders will be closed on march the first, don´t wait to long. and paddle safe and long - bye Jochen Grikschat *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
