Just in case you may have forgotten, Derek Hutchinson is known as the "Father" of mondern-day kayaking & kayakers have been using condoms long before they were "hip". Hey, I’m just sharing. . . EXPLODING CONDOM AND KAYAK RECORD BID. February 29th. . . what better day than to take a leap. . .
As I mentioned yesterday adventure writer, sea kayaker & coach, (jack of all sea kayaking trades. . . ) Jeff Allen of Cornwall, UK is off to Scandinavia. He will be joined by Mark Schoon of Maine. Jeff of course has had some amazing trips already in his back pocket including circumnavigating the 4 main isles of Japan with Hadas Feldman of Israel, and as a member of the 2005 British team that circumnavigated South Georgia Island in record time. Jeff is also a prolific writer who has recently been contributing articles on such things as; survival for sea kayaking, rough water paddling & incident management for Ocean Paddler Magazine in the UK.
Times when the day is like a play by Sartre
When it seems a bookburning´s in perfect order
I gave the doctor my description
I´ve tried to stick my prescriptions
Someday I´ll have a disappearing hairline
Someday I´ll wear pyjamas in the daytime

Welcome to 4am in my world! Has anyone tried this self heating Lattes before? Yeah, it’s 4am but I’m not feeling that brave. Still, I was thinking pulling one of these out of the day hatch after a few days on the water may still seem like a treat. . .
Hmmmmm, I’m not even sure what to say about this. . . but don’t say I didn’t share. It’s the Kayak Song

Something new! "Quix Strokes" will be the place I post the little tid-bits that pop up from time to time. Here’s an example; On the symposium front, this weekend the 12th annual Coastbusters symposium is being held in New Zealand this weekend. This year over 200 paddlers have registered. Guests include; Sandy Robson, Paul Cayffn, Jim Kakuk, and more. . . If someone attending would like to send me a report after the event I’d be happy to post it here. Also Laurie Levknecht has sent out the first notice for the cast and crew of the West Michigan Symposium. For more info visit www.wmcka.org. See, Quix Strokes are fun and usually painless!
I go to the bar, I ring my coat, I call the bartender
Said "Look man, come down here", he got down there
So what you want?
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer. . .

Before I go any further with this silliness, I want to mention that Jeff Allen of Sea Kayaking Cornwall is off on the first leg of his Scandinavian Adventure today. I will have an interview with Jeff tomorrow. . . Well, I could have posted it today. . . but there’s this strange narcissistic fixation with MY problems. . . .!
Well, really I just wanted to have a little break to show you around the few additions I’ve made to the site. I know it’s tough to come home and find someone’s moved your chair! Besides, these interviews take more work! “Waaaaaa!!!”.
When you move like a jellyfish
Rhythm don’t mean nothing
You go with the flow
I’m really pleased to get to share with you a chat with Megan Pfieffer. I realized that although you may have heard me mention the "Queen of Canoecopia" on KQuix occasionally, you may not know who she is. She’s a bit of a ninja in her own right, and manages to be everywhere and yet often unseen. So maybe I should call this post “Megan Pfeiffer Exposed”. . .
