Iv just arived home from the New South Whales sea Kayak Clubs gathering , I yet to sort out the camera after the trip . so I havent got eny vidio to put up, Im still lerning to shute the vidio so I dont know what its going to be like ! Iv been triying out a new Ram suction cup tri pod .

hears a good photo showing of the CZ80, its the proto tipe Duglas Wilcox in Scotland triled befor releaas , I lifted the photo of his blog , not shore who the photo credits need to go to , but its not one of mine 

While at the get together I cort up with a few adventurers , Sandy Robson , a gerl from Western Australia who is curently folowing in the paddel strokes of Osca Speck, who paddeld from Germany to Australia just befor WW2 , the next leg of her trip she is yousing a folding boat , which wher geting a sail rig set up on .

Stuwart Truman, the last of only three peopal to surcum navigate Australia in a sea kayak was ther to , he yoused a FEKS on his way round , and over a cupal of beers we chated about what he thort of the sails , one coment was that half way round he chose to swop sails to a smaler sail , simeler in size to the new CZ70, the biger sai was whering him out on long days and he found the smaler sail a beter alrouder , mabe sumthing to think about for those of us who dont race ?

also I cort up with Paul Caffen, the ferst to paddel around Australia, 25 years ago , he is  prepering to go back up to Greenland for more paddeling , and the Expodition Kayak Boys wher ther showing of ther latest line up of high quolity gear, its grate to have supliers who realy youse the gear thay sell, look at sume of the vidioes in previous postes , ther north reaf trip , it sumes them up perfictly . one thing I realised from paddeling with Mark , Im lifting my sholder at the end of my forword stroke , the corse , a to long paddle , just sumthing to think about are we paddeling with the right length paddle ? I need to go to a 210, im 6’2” and mostaly paddel thin boats , yousing a high angel stroke , mabe its sumthing we all need to re evaluate from timeto time ?
