The main problem with the officals is the shipping lane you cross, up to 500 very large boats a day running North or South directly across your West to East route which you should give way to or do your best to avoid! There is the chance to do a K2 record next year if anyone is interested in having me as a partner! - Ian Wynne Tue, 30 Oct 2007 11:45:50 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/549/147/#pc_1637 Well done guys. How were the formalities with the paddle - were there many official hoops to jump through? Stuart - xpat Mon, 29 Oct 2007 01:18:18 +0100
