Freya Hoffmeister is currently circumnavigating New Zealand's South Island. I have been following her blog on her web site. www.kayakunderground.com Her report today (texted in) reads: Waikouaiti 85km 13hrs grey drizzly chilly day but good paddle. 85 km ! Good grief that is 52 miles in 13 hours That is a fraction over 4 mph! She would quickly leave me in her wake. I am not sure even if I grabbed her cape I could hold on for 13 hours. I think I will stick to my 15 mile per day "low and enjoy the scenery" trips. On second though the wind just shook my house. I think I will be staying home tomorrow (35mph winds predicted) When in doubt paddle hard!
