PICKING UP THE KAYAKS FROM CANOE & KAYAK WORLD, BARRY & KEV
BARRY SORTING OUT THE KAYAKS WITH GAIL & IAN We're nearly ready and we plan to start our trip tomorrow morning ( Saturday), probably from Littleton Harbour in Christchurch but that's still to be confirmed!
We were delayed getting to Christchurch yesterday and arrived around midday so we'd have really struggled to start the trip today, even if we'd wanted to. The last day and a half have been spent shopping and getting sorted. We collected our kayaks from "Canoe & Outdoor World" ( thanks again Kev for paying to ship the kayaks down from Auckland, and for lending us some flares), we spent over 2 hours food shopping and even more time unpacking and repacking it, we've bought other bits and pieces, filled fuel bottles, etc etc. The floor at Ian and Gails is still covered with all my stuff so we're not finished yet! but we're getting there.
BARRY CHECKS OUT THE SURF NEAR TO WHERE WE'RE STAYINGit's warm here, sleeveless t-shirt warm and the weather is reasonably settled so it's a good time to get going. The plan is to warm up over the next few days and not go mad. Right, back to it!!

Pleased to see Barry looking a lot healthier than he did at San Fran A/port, and lovely to see Ian and Gail especially Ian with a beer belly, but surprised he wasn't wearing a hat with corks around.(whoops is that Oz). Good Luck to you both, we're all routing for you. Love from the old folks at home.xx
Good luck to both of you on the trip! And please, bring lots of exciting footage and action shots of each other! This is what I was missing as a lonely paddler around NZSI...
Looking forward to meet you again at Anglesey!
Love and hugs,
Freya
