G'Day, Sad news. Andrew had to pull out of the trip due to colder conditions than expected. The city based news was a bit negative whereas the Tasmania coast based news seemed to have a well founded appreciation of what lay behind the attempt and the decision to cancel. The next attempt will be on January 6th 2007 in a highly modified double 'kayak' paddled by the two 'Knox boys' Justin Jones and James Castrisson http://www.crossingtheditch.com.au . Here's wishing them both well. Likewise I'm sure Andrew won't be satisfied until he's ironed out all the bugs and made it across himself. All the best, PeterO (The opinions here are mine I haven't heard from Andrew yet) *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
