After a month kayaking for Strait Watch and paddling up to 7 hours a day in search of other kayakers to educate and inform them about the 'Be Whale Wise' guidelines it looks as though my South Georgia Expedition training is well under way. Over the next two weeks I thought I'd change my training up abit therefore have taken advantage of an invite by the Annenberg Foundation to join them on a rafting drip down the Grand Canyon September 18th - 28th. The goal behind this adventure is to bring together some of the worlds leading thinkers on the looming world water crisis and specifically engage the Native American community within the Grand Canyon. This journey will be filmed.
Other than that I am gradually piecing together the final gear I require for South Georgia. I am currently researching to purchase a High Definition Video camera that can withstand the cold, have substanial long battery life and is small enough to mount on the bow and stern of my kayak in a waterproof casing. Any ideas? Stand by for further updates as the departure date draws near....January 22nd 2010.
Don't forget there are T Shirts for sale.
