From Corsica to Genoa in kayak – wind and waves
Il tempo è migliorato dopo una notte con raffiche a 60 nodi, grandine e pioggia ora c’è il sole ma il bollettino parla di vento sui 35 nodi nel canale e mare agitato, a malincuore ma Michele e Massimigliano, anche su consiglio/richiesta della capitaneria di porto di Genova, rinunciano alla traversata. In ogni caso saranno…

From Corsica to Genoa in kayak – still waiting
Update from Marco in Corsica: Oggi ancora tempo pessimo, vento oltre 20 nodi, qui il mare è protetto, ma appena oltre capo corso c’è mare forza 4, 5. Per il momento attendiamo. Probabilmente spostiamo la partenza a Domenica. Also today the weather is very poor, winds over 20 knots. The sea is sheltered here, but…

Adventure Kayak editorial

Parcel update III
So, the miracle has happened. The parcel sent from Barisardo in Sardinia in October last year has finally been delivered to my in-laws in Palermo, after over eight months in postal limbo. From what I hear, the content was rather smelly, so the washing machine has been working in overdrive since the parcel’s arrival. It’ll…

Parcel update II
During the first leg of the Sardinia circumnavigation I sent a parcel with excess equipment from Bari Sardo in Sardinia to a friend in Palermo. The parcel wasn’t picked up in time at the post office in Palermo, and while everybody assured me it would be returned to my address in Denmark, it wasn’t. It…
