Sandy and I are 3 days in to a 5 day paddle around Raja Ampat, a side trip that Sandy describes as a holiday from her expedition from Germany to Australia. I'm joining her for about 7 weeks until mid April when I'll fly home from whatever small airport that I'm nearest. I'm delighted Sandy has agreed to let me join her as we'd never met before. So far we've been together almost a week and are getting on well. It's interesting to see the systems used by other people who have travelled thousands of miles by kayak.

I'll be posting a few photos to this blog as weer go along so please follow if you are interested.

Thanks to iridium for the sat phone to allow us to do it.
