Spread your wings and fly away
Fly away far away
Spread your little wings and fly away
Fly away far away
Pull yourself together
‘Cos you know you should do better
That’s because you’re a free man
Come on honey
FLY WITH ME!

Alrighty then! So working with a nice woman named Louise at Transglobal Express Ltd in the UK I’ve arranged to have my Alaw Bach shipped here to Chicago arriving on the 26th. Cutting it just under the line as I leave for Puerto Rico on the 29th. That will give me just enough time to add a couple deck fittings before flying back out again. We’ve certainly come to the point now were it’s a bit panicky. Not bad, but you know how last minute details go. Of course my friends who’ve done this sort of thing before tell me to just relax and get to the water. I’m trying to take their advice. In truth there is a big part of me now that is saying “F**k it!” let’s just paddle! Mike Webb at Rockpool told me he’d email me a picture of my new baby later today, so we’ll see. If so I will post it. I know he’s quite happy with how it turned out. I of course am freaking out to see it! The next thing on my agenda is to figure out the right way to fill out this customs form. That probably means aother phone call. Yarg!So far it looks like Taino will arrive in PR early on the 29th and be gathered by my good friend Nydia who is also flying into PR the day before to help with arrangements. What a complete angel she has been. They will head off to hang with out new friends at KayakScuba a couple hours from the launch point. Carrie the owner and resident sea nymph, has been working like a little beaver to make a nice little space for us to call “home” while in Puerto Rico. Complete with little fridge and comfy floors. LOL!
I will arrive in San Juan late that same evening and spend the night in a hotel on the water. Yeah, I know. . I should sleep on a floor too I suppose but coming in at 9pm, it seems better to just crash and enjoy a last shower in the morning.
Now here’s something cool. Mike at Rockpool tells me that the new issue of Ocean Paddler just came out in the UK and I hear we got a little mention in there. There is also an interview with Jeff Allen of Sea Kayaking Cornwall &. . drum roll. . . A review of the P&H Cetus. I’m sure we are looking forward to seeing how this new magazine does with reviews. Of course this is a P&H so I’m sure it will come through with flying colors. . . (well I have to say that or certain guys from Michigan will kill me. . .)
Well, in the words of my favorite “jane of all trades”. . . . lata!
