It’s sad I know but we are parting with the Mary’s Greenlander. I tried to think of a way I could justify keeping it for myself but in truth I’m happy with my Explorer & the Actua. The poor thing would never get paddled. And a kayak like the Greenlander should be somewhere where it will spend a lot of time on the water. So if anyone is interested in adoption I’ve posted more details here. Just email me with any questions.

Well, it’s about time to start hitting the pool for rolling practice again and I have to say I’m really inspired. I was watching Andrew’s video of Dubside and every so often I’d see a roll I thought I could do with a bit of work! Hmmmm, The dead seal thing looks interesting. . . Check out that video if you haven’t yet.

Meanwhile in another shade of black, Freya has posted her trip report from the Adventure Week Symposium sponsored by Adventurous Experiences on the Isle of Man. Looks like everyone had a great time and everyone survived. Survival is almost guaranteed as long as you keep your banana well protected . . .
