PeterO: Hope you had a great trip, it's a fantastic piece of coast from the parts I have paddled there. I have still to paddle the section from Bittangabee to Eden. Green Cape can be a bouncy place. I keep wondering about VHF, but thus far I have hung on to my money. The shortwave radio weather schedules are invaluable, though. At this point, I think in Australia an Epirb and an SSB shortwave radio is a good combination. VHF, UHF and 27MHz radios less useful for communication outside the paddling group. The less dead weight in the boat the better, particularly failure-prone electronics. Cheers, PT. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
