Mark S. Peloquin from Bluewater Kayak Works installing an electrical bilge pump in my South American kayak

Mark S. Peloquin from Bluewater Kayak Works was so kind to extra fly over from Seattle to Germany to install in my new South American epic 18x sport kayak! He even left me an extremely well pre-prepared spare set for my spare kayak which will arrive next week! Thanks for your work, Mark!

The boat - again an epic 18x sport Expedition - the English side! The paddle: again an epic full carbon small midsize 205 cm 652 g wing - nothing less or else!

The secret is revealed – there she is!

All my cables, batteries and electronic parts for the trip – without the gadgets themselves…

What would a woman do without a skillful IT-guy on her side…

Thanks VERY MUCH to my partner Peter Unold, who had *almost* as much fun assisting me on the IT-side of my trip preparations as if he’d be joining me paddling himself…but unfortunately his business it-arkitekterne requires to stay present in Denmark.

But what exactly did he help me with?

Last time before I leave for South America!

Last chance to buy great stuff NOW!

I will be able to send things when I’m away through my helpers in Husum, but it would be nicer to do it myself now…thanks to all you guys for ordering so well! I think I sent out about 20 parcels so far…my garage space is getting a bit more empty again!

I eventually put together a list of my kayaking and outdoor kit I don’t need (any more).

It’s a mix of “dear old friends, too good to throw away”, “doubles and triples”, “very good – but I have better ones”, “can’t use them all” and “I simply have too much” kit.

Please feel free to browse through the list, see the pics, find more details about the items on the web (before you ask me…), and see the price new and suggested price now.

My Rockpool Underground Prototype Greenlandstyle rolling kayak is for sale!

It was specially made for me by Aled Williams, former co-ownder of Rockpool Kayaks, now owner of Tide Race. Unfortunately, it didn’t make it beyond the prototype version due to the unlucky split of  Rockpool Kayaks. Please have a look at my sponsor’s website here.

The boat was originally born white (as seen in TITS III), but I painted it solidly in shiny black.

I’m featured in a new book from Spiegel Online, written by Stephan Orth and Antje Blinda:

“Sorry, Ihr Hotel ist abgebrannt”
