G'Day, Freya's just reported that she has a new PFD and EPIRB courtesy of her sponsors and she also has an interesting photo of a very solid looking rig for sleeping in the kayak as she is getting closer to the Gulf of Carpentaria. http://qajaqunderground.com/2009/04/02/day-75-thursday-0202-2009/ The journey between Cooktown and the Gulf should be one of the most interesting pieces of coastline - very isolated and she seems to be enjoying the islands too. Wonderful images if you dig deeper into her website. Loved her description of the sound of waves running through coral "I listened to my first coral beach. It sounds like glass in a gentle lapping sea..." All the best, PeterO *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
