On the "Polarwind: Osvaldo, Ricardo, Mario, myself, Alejandro and Jutta

Another exciting eveing with meeting new exciting people!

Last night Alejandro and I were invited to a “Captain’s Dinner” on the sailyacht “Polarwind” – literally, as Osvaldo, the owner and skipper of the yacht did the yummy cooking! Thanks a lot for your invitation!

Thanks to Sport Zölzer!

Shop assistant Kai, Junior Manager André Zölzer, Senior Manager Heinz Zölzer and shop assistant Torsten were so kind to host a rolling clinic, organized by Marek Pohla and Indrek Aas from Tahe Marine, and a talk about my Australian circumnavigation.

I had plenty of fun in the river Ruhr, getting a bunch of students and the Junior Manger wet and dizzy!

There will be an entertaining gameshow in the German TV SWR,

where 4 prominent candidates (Inspektor Smudo, Ursula Cantieni, Mike Krüger, Enie van de Meiklokjes)

have to find out the right person out of three,

having done some great or interesting things…

it will be quite a tough quiz on that night! )

To be seen on German TV

SWR, Monday, 02.05.2011, 22.00 h

The blogging-free time is over now – I needed to get my mind to be back home again after that 7-weeks-long US tour…home, sweet home…and to spend a bit of time offline with my new boyfriend…

What I’ve been doing meanwhile? Well, working like a horse to re-opening my x-mas shop, including two overnight sessions of 36 hrs continuous work with only one day break in between only (it’s almost like paddling the cliffs in OZ…)

Horst Hundsdorf, president of the hosting club, the Kanuabteilung of the TSG 1864 Darmstadt, was introducing my talk. 

Thanks for hosting me, Horst!

But I wouldn’t have been there talking, if there wouldn’t have been my most active fan – Jörg Hofferbert, who initiated the contact! Thanks, Jörg!

Jörg initiated as well the visit of the German TV ZDF sport moderator Susanne Simon, who co-moderated the evening and the questions after the talk. Thanks, Susanne!

Double shot issue – my own favorite is clearly the B&W one!

The great long cover story is written by Joe Glickman – the man behind my upcoming OZ book! 

Get a taste of what to come and have a look on the current C&K issue! !

Thanks to epic kayaks to bringing me in for the Outdoor Retailer show in Salt Lake City!

I’ll be at the epic booth 1/2 days, and loking around he other 1/2 days (but don’t know yet which half…)

If someone would like to meet me there – my cellphone should be working!

Thanks to Sea Kayaker Magazine and Hilleberg the Tentmaker for inviting me to their annual partys! It will be fun, I assume… )
