These are the last minutes. Tomorrow morning I’m off for Madison, not to return home until Sunday, and then only long enough to pick up my boats before our Clinic in the evening. It was a spectacularly rough day as I tried to get the last of my business done and still be packed up and ready to go. At the last minute I still managed to update Freya Hoffmeister’s website so she can show off her new sponsor NDK. Nigel made her a new Explorer with sparkles!!!! You’ll want to check out her blog for that. Oh and for that picture of guys sniffing her trolley! (I won’t touch that one)

Oh but speaking of Trolleys, I received my copy of This Is The Sea 3 today as well. See, it’s karma. I wake up moody and I get my advance copy to cheer me up. What has this got to do with trolleys? Well, check out Alun’s trolley! LOL! Justine’s been getting a lot of naked men’s bums in her videos recently. I think she’s shooting for a review that says, “Justine’s videos are “Bumtastic, Rumperiffic, and ASStronomical”! Oh, and my nickel is this is certainly her most engrossing movie to date. Much more focus on expeditions, Amazing scenery and wildlife, and when the rough water is rough, it’s mega-rough. Great stuff. Oh, and between us guys, Justine’s really got it going on in this video. I don’t know what she’s been doing but it’s working for her in a big way. And guys, listening to her voice over introduction repeatedly could be a health risk. . . . Yikes, that’ll dye your wool!! (of course I didn’t say that. .)

So I think that’s about it. Time to get a bit of sleep. I look forward to seeing some of you at Canoecopia, and at the rolling clinic on Sunday. I’m excited about getting together and hanging out with the whole paddling gang. This is going to be great!
