Expedition Kayaks Save The Day.

I haven’t posted much recently, as it has been fairly mundane since returning from the Clayoquot Sound trip and the weather being, well ……….. Wintery.

What a day it was on Wednesday though.

After months of waiting and no news of the new Cetus, I gave up on it, and reverted to plan B.

A phone call to Expedition Kayaks in NSW was like a breath of fresh air. Literally, within the hour, a Valley Etain 17.5 had been selected, the shipping arranged and the payment made by Electronic Funds Transfer.

Thanks go to Mark, for his advice and for making the whole process painless and enjoyable.

There is nothing wrong with my current kayak, the Scorpio LV, has provided superb service, but I really prefer the feel of a fiberglass hull.

The Etain has great looks, with its traditional British lines. I haven’t paddled one, but all the reviews are of the same voice, it is vice free and a good all round craft. A friend has paddled one and rated it highly.

So more, much more, with pictures, in a week or two.
