kayak

When Jill K. Robinson launched her sea kayak in Half Moon Bay, California, she didn't realize that she was about to go nose-to-nose with the Chilean earthquake tsunami.

She wrote an essay online, "The Accidental Tsunami Rider," that nicely captures the feeling of planetary connection that comes with being in a sea kayak. It reminds me of why I was inspired to take up sea kayaking when I moved to the coast 15 years ago.

Eight intrepid mariners will compete in a month-long small boat adventure race called the Ultimate Florida Challenge. The race is scheduled to start at 7 a.m. on March 6 near the entrance to Tampa Bay.

The course is a 1,200-mile counter-clockwise circumnavigation of Florida in 30 days or less. It is open to boats propelled by human and/or wind power only. No tows, no rides. (one exception -- one of the boats includes an experimental solar-powered auxillary electric motor.)

Table mountain - Breath taking

I went up Table mountain today and wow was it amazing. Table Mountain is very difficult to describe, as there are few words to sum up the feeling of standing on top of the mountain overlooking Cape Town and the surrounding area. I think awesome, fabulous, amazing, stunning are some of the words I would use.

A couple of handy hints for your trip;

- The weather is extremely unpredictable. One moment you could be standing on top of the mountain with a clear view, then next you can't see more than a few feet in front of you. When planning your trip you ideally need a clear day to appreciate the views and scenery. Our last time in Cape Town we actually planned a couple of days around Table Mountain. e.g. Camps Bay, The Lions Head, the Waterfront etc and then the moment the mist cleared we jumped in a taxi and raced up to the entrance ! If you structure your trip and plan a specific day to go up the mountain, be warned, you may be disappointed.

- take your camera - there are some fabulous shots. Sounds obvious but we met quite a few people who had forgotten their's??!

- There is a phone number you can call that morning to find out if the cable cars are open (it's on the website and was also known by our hotel). It will also inform you what the chances are, of rain/winds later in the day. Very useful to save on any wasted journeys.

- Give yourself enough time up on top of the mountain. You could easily spend hours up there and you will only be disappointed if you don't allow enough time.

- Definitely take a coat/jumper and you wont feel out of place with trousers instead of shorts. It can get bitterly cold on top and the wind can blow a gale. So they are much needed.

Above all it is a lovely place and the views are out of this world. It's something you wont forget in a hurry.
