Easter break and the little Thursday troubles kind of have put a little halt on training for the last four or five days. But yesterday afternoon and this afternoon I did around Matiu trips and it’s great being able to get back in my training groove.

I was thinking while I was on the water today about the crossing paddle. I actually have to be fully self-sufficient. If I get separated from my support boat for whatever reason and I will have to have long range radio, PLB and probably things like a tent sleeping bag and stuff anyway, as a just in case and food as well come to think of it. Especially if I end up doing a completely solo trip, which by the way is a very slim possibility because I can’t find someone willing to be a support crew/boat. We were discussing it a couple of weeks ago and I kind of have the itch to do solo unaccompanied trip but all my friends (and parents now after Thursday) are just saying absolutely not!

Also kind of sadly my first dates 2nd 3rd and 4th of April are upon us and I am nowhere near ready equipment wise but hopefully by the 16th (my next set) I will have everything ready to go. Finger'scrossed.

Thursday paddle.
