Thanks Melissa (and Sandy, and Henry). Sorry for the poor prose - was a
late-night-can't-sleep post.

As it turns out, my Victoria friends Garth and Kevin (two of the coolest
Kiwi's I know) left for Alaska on Sunday. It was still blowing hard (like
50-knots hard) but I imagine they set off in the lee of the lower
Vancouver Island here. At least the wind was on their tail. They are going
to Alaska via kayak on the inside route, then turning around and coming
back via the outside route in the same kayaks. The rest of us office-bound
work-a-day slobs can follow them on their web site. It is a nice site,
with some nice pics. A number of us Paddlewisers have spent time with
these two guys, training them, training alongside them, giving them
advice, and providing moral support as well as practical help. I'd
recommend a look:

Peace and good paddling to you all,
Doug
