I needed a base camp tent as my Blackwolf Tanami is too small. It&#8217;s a good tent but it is either too small for a base or too large for the boat. After careful consideration and some lengthy reviewing I opted for the Turbo 240 Lite. It weighs 17kg and will fit in the back [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=avastyematey.wordpress.com&blog=2111549&post=282&subd=avastyematey&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

The klan organized a day trip to Broken Bay on Sunday 31st May. I&#8217;ve paddled here before but more to seaward and out along the coast. Since the weather was poor we settled on Patonga as our put-in point as it would give us some options if the wind turned ugly. The six of us [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=avastyematey.wordpress.com&blog=2111549&post=275&subd=avastyematey&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

I was using a good ol&#8217; O&#8217;Neill rashie Oz style for ages but the problem with it, like all rashies, is that the seams are not optimally placed for paddling. Long paddling ends up with badly chafed armpits. Enter the IR Thinskin. I bought it at Rock n Roll when I arrived and I can [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=avastyematey.wordpress.com&blog=2111549&post=272&subd=avastyematey&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

This week I picked up my new Impex Assateague. I have been paddling a demo boat from Expedition Kayaks and I made the decision to take one of the last ones in stock. It is one of the few boats available designed for large paddlers. I&#8217;m 6&#8242;1&#8243; and 240lb. My initial impressions of the Assateague [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=avastyematey.wordpress.com&blog=2111549&post=259&subd=avastyematey&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Derrick at Kayak Quixotica has recently painted a picture in &#8216;Telling Stories&#8217; of an American outdoors idyll on the Adirondacks complete with bears, plaid jackets and Dad teaching to read a compass. It&#8217;s an American fantasy, a romanticized legacy of early frontier life that strikes a chord in, presumably, white middle class Americans. It&#8217;s how [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=avastyematey.wordpress.com&blog=2111549&post=251&subd=avastyematey&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
