Name: Email: Address: Phone: A week down the Whanganui River with 55 keen Yakity Yakers is huge fun. The laughter, the teasing, the letting down of one’s hair as they say, is great for the soul. Hard work you may think arranging a trip of that size and you would be right. It took eight or nine trolleys at Pac n Save, a 100kg meat shop from the butcher, another three trolleys of bread at Taumarunui, gas bottles, cookers etc. Well over 500 kilos of food and another couple of hundred kilos of equipment! Yet I come home feeling that I could take on the world after one of these trips. A feeling of being out in the wilderness and thriving, not just surviving. Seeing the looks on faces and hearing the comments when we all achieve something new together is great. About 70 gathered for a Dawn Service at Tieke Kainga Marae and with my head always somewhat clouded at such a time I passed the proceedings onto Mac from the Marae who talked well about the fallen. Tony from Hamilton wrapped it up with the right words and a prayer. Card No: ✄ Cheque Visa Mastercard Signature Expiry date: Send form to Kayak NZ Magazine. PO Box 100 493, NSMC, Auckland. Or phone [09] 421 0662 Fax [09] 421 0663 email: pete@canoeandkayak.co.nz These two things, the fun and the remembrance are I think my fuel. There aren’t many moments that go by that I don’t think how lucky we all are. The fun and enjoyment I get from the outdoors and the people who venture into it with me improve tenfold when I remember just how quickly they can disappear if we are not vigilant. We owe much to our previous generations, who fought to protect our freedom and to build NZ so we can grow in a safe and peaceful country. Many millions of the worlds population today would and do die for even a scrap of the peace, freedom and abundance we have here in NZ. So let’s get out there and live a lot. Don’t put off today something you have been meaning to do. We owe it to our brave ancestors to use this peace they won for us to the fullest and remember, if some little thing needs fixing then fix it before it wrecks the lot. Cheers and see you out there on the water Peter Townend Editor Great Stuff Safety Flag • Very easy to remove • Simply plugs into a rod holder • If lost overboard it floats • Flexible plastic base and fibreglass shaft Being seen has never been easier Available at all good Kayak stores Includes Safety Flag & Rod Holder email: greatstuff@woosh.co.nz ISSUE THIRTYsix • 2006 5
