Congratulations on your new NDK Greenlander Pro, Carbon Kevlar, 3 piece sea kayak Silvio!
Great pic mate! ; )
After just two hours and forty five minutes we thudded into an islands nation steeped in lava and mystery. Magic, custom and young-wild landscapes.

It was pure triumph to be packed and ready to leave in the morning. We decided to take advantage of Virgin's three pieces of check-in luggage at 23 kgs per piece for a very reasonable $110 for 69 kgs of kayak and expedition equipment packed in three sections of our kayaks plus 7 kgs of carry on, 76 kgs each in total. Penny's help on the airport leg was big and very much appreciated! I suggested to Pete we should smile lots and be the most charming versions of ourselves to make the Brisbane to Vila section as smooth as possible. The Virgin staff were so genuinely on board with the joy and excitement of our trip and made us feel very special indeed! I always feel a sense of the perfect crime when it seems to have worked out thus far whilst enjoying a drink, nibbles and looking down from the plane at exotic lands and reefs and interesting things.
When I was a kid my Grandfather had all the Bruce Lee films on video, he loved Bruce Lee and so do I, so when Bruce Lee offers his wisdom about adapting to change I listen and remember these words...
“You must be shapeless, formless, like water. When you pour water in a cup, it becomes the cup. When you pour water in a bottle, it becomes the bottle. When you pour water in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Water can drip and it can crash. Become like water my friend.”
― Bruce Lee
So when life, circumstances and geography threw challenges at Pete and I we adapted to change and became like water instead of not doing a trip to Vanuatu. That meant we were still racing about and sorting stuff in the wee hours of the morning at Penny's house before the flight. She seemed amused, and kept our spirits up with French Champagne and home cooked fried rice.
Hello Summer.
I hope you were on the water celebrating too!

Hooksie, Doc, Q, Jaf, Sil. I love you guys! Thank you so so much for helping me these last two days,
Mental note, never ever check Silvio’s foot to bulkhead position whilst he’s in his kayak.
Silvia that looks awesome.
