Follow my journey over the next 22 weeks to a day in July 2011 where I will be taking part in one of the most amazing journeys in my calendar. The Molokai to Oahu Channel Paddle, Hawaii. The channel crossing is 32 miles of harsh swell, currents, winds and tides. Just when you think you have made it across the channel, Oahu's south east point, Koko Head, dishes up some choppy water and strong winds. Also known as "The Channel of Bones", this will be my biggest adventure yet. Follow my preparations for this epic paddle.

International Departures

Ever heard of the phrase "it's raining cats and dogs"?? Well the last week in Sydney has been raining elephants and rinos with the odd shower of horses and monkeys. Rain drops that hurt are not good!
Sitting at Sydney international terminal all alone watching planes get covered in rain on landing when they taxi through giant size puddles at 200kph! One plane landed and went through a puddle that was so big it sprayed up over the nose and the pilots where playing hide and seek!

Breakfast part 2 now completed i am starring out the window thinking of the amazing dinner I had last night with a lot of my supporters and friends. We had Stew, Nina, Dale, Joey, Tori, Barbora, Justin, Ryan (who walked on crutches with a leg brace to get to dinner = legend lord huckle!), Jason, Damien and Louise. Your support means so much to me. I have the card with me and it will be with me on Molokai so I can remind myself of all the awesomeness of you guys.

Quote from last night: "I will either be at finish line drinking beer or in hospital on a drip"!!! Basically, nothing will get in my way of paddling to the finish line grrr flick my earlobes (checking you are reading this!)

Thinking I should have left my car outside so the rain could wash it but thought the elephants and rinos may squash it! Yeah I know that doesn't make a lot sense but like whatevz, am tots amaze!!!

Okay peeps. Time to sign off. Signing in again when in Fiji or Hawaii cruising around in a dodge charger with a 15foot board on the roof. Reckon dukes of hazard boys would be proud of this effort!
