G'Day,

3000 miles this year over a period of three and a half years - paddle three
times a week - typically about 3 miles on Thursday night to a really good
fish and chip shop, 12 miles on Saturday anywhere on the bonny blue ocean
and 6 miles on Sundays to the best coffee shop around Sydney harbour. Oh its
tough!!!

But consecutive days? Only five I'm afraid and even that was cheating
because I wasn't sleeping in the boat on the ocean overnight:~) In fact the
only person I know who can do that safely in a single is Peter Rattenbury
using a modified Klepper. Have others had to do this ever?

All the best, PeterO
