Have you ever slid your kayak up on a beach somewhere and wondered if you should just go another mile? Maybe just up around that head? Today I’m going to take you from my little beach and send you off to some others. . .

First Stop – Bill From San Mateo California has a great collection of pictures from the 2005 Norcal Symposium. It took me a moment to figure out how to enlarge the pictures but once I got it I was one my way. Cool pics Bill!

Second Stop – There’s lots of places to follow along with Peter Bray and the gang. It looks like Hadas is keeping the folks in Israel posted at the Israel Sea Kayak Forum. You may have to load the Hebrew language pack on Windows PCs. However once that’s done much of the news has been in English. (so far) Jeff Allen has his log at the Sea Kayaking Cornwall Site. Of course the primary site is at http://www.operationsouthgeorgia.com/ but so far it does not look like their posting regular updates. I don’t know of Peter or Nigel posting their own online notes. Probobly not their ‘bag’. But If I’m missing it let me know!! To learn more about the island in general just go to http://www.sgisland.org/.

And while thinking about these guys, here’s a link to a few pictures from Jeff & Hadas’s trip circumnavigation of Japan that I came upon just a couple days ago. Too bad I can read it. Looks like they had a great time.

Third Stop – Looking for a new kayak? Thought of Rockpool? I’m not sure we can get ‘em here in the states but check it out. (If not for the hull design, check it out for the glitter!)

Next – You’ve got to love this picture! (lower right)

Our last stop of the day is Hydropia.org which is the online home of John & Louisa Bichard. I first went to their website last evening to look at their kayaking stuff which by the way includs a 2392km expedition around the entire coastline of Sweden. There certainly is a lot of kayak info to explore. However, I found myself getting caught up in John’s art. Maybe start out HERE! This is the last stop because I could spend a couple days right here, exploring. How’s that beard going??
