Research

So, today Ritchie and I went down to http://www.eastcoastkayaking.com/ for a our first real foray into the world of kayaking. Met a couple of great blokes down there who gave us the knowledge, and it seems we'll be back to see them sometime in the next couple of weeks for a full day lesson. Can't wait.

This Saturday

Fellas,

I just contacted Rohan from http://www.eastcoastkayaking.com/. They have a Mirage 580 and a Mirage 530 to try out - $35/hour. They take the rental cost off the purchase price, if we buy from them. He's also got something else there comparable, but he recommends the Mirage 580 for a Bass Strait crossing - he's got his there in the shop fully kitted out for expeditions that we can look at too.

We're booked in for 9am.

First paddle challenge

How about something like this - Hampton Pier to Portarlington Pier, 35.5km?
