Second Tierra del Fuego attempt - Explorers Web - February 6: Justine Curgenven and Barry Shaw had to abandon last year's attempt to kayak around Tierra del Fuego. Now they are on their way again, and halfway on their adventure. This weekend they kayaked in to Ushuaia - the town at 'the end of the world'... The two started where they had to quit last year because of Barry's bad wrist... They have paddled approximately 270 nautical miles in 13 days and have 330 nautical miles to go between Ushuaia and Punta Arenas.
Something New in the World of Kayaking - Belfast Village Soup (ME) - February 5: More than 50 kayak manufacturers are listed in the Canoe & Kayak Annual Boat Book. My guess is that there are at least 50 more small companies that are not listed, Walrus Kayaks being one of them. It must have taken a bit of chutzpah to start a kayak company in the midst of a bad economy, and -- at a time when many other builders are moving their manufacturing operations to China -- to insist on building them in small town USA. It must have taken a bit more chutzpah to choose uncompromising designs and high end materials as central to your business model, but that's just what Walrus Kayaks did.

The couple is reaching out to the community and beyond in hopes of making this trip possible. They've called on the website Kickstarter, an online pledge system, to help fund their journey and Charlie says their goal is to raise $8,500 by February 29th.
