Got a devil’s haircut in my mind – beck

Bugs Bunny sure was in drag an awful lot! Do you remember the bit where he dressed up as the Tasmanian She-Devil? If you’re a trivia buff that was in “Bedevilled Rabbit” from 1957. Anyway, that just jumped into my head while I was putting this post together.

You know every so often I send you right over to Justine’s site and this is one of those days. Today we just put up a brand new clip preview from her up-coming sequel to “This is the Sea”. The footage is from her circumnavigation of Tasmania last December with Trys Morris and Gemma Rawlings. The first time I saw the clip I was thinking, “You are NEVER getting me out in that!”. One of the cool things she posted on the site as well is their expedition report. Although it’s pretty interesting to read as a story it’s also, dare I say. . . educational. She lists the kind of communication gear they used, emergency equipment, first aid, repair kits, and most importantly food. So if for some reason you are planning to get up in the morning and going for a paddle say. . . around Madagascar, you’ll have some good knowledge of what you may need to take with you.

For my part it looks like I will get a cloudy rainy day to teach my first sea kayak fundamentals class for the season at Rutabaga tomorrow. I don’t mind that. Kayaking is a watersport after all.
