Sunday, March 9, 2014. It takes time . I have not yet found the time or space to draw the whole trip across the Strait together into a concise summary report. It needs a little time to sink in. There are many hundreds of photos to filter through . many, many, many recollections and memories of this adventure amongst a beautifully unfolding sequence of seascapes and landscapes. So here are just a couple of images that fall out of the bag . New Year's Eve on Hogan Island. A sea kayaker's dinner. Locally ma...

EASTERN HORIZON: June 2014

Saturday, June 28, 2014. Mr Beachcroft returns to shore. On Saturday 28th June 2014 Tony and I went for a paddle out the Heads to see if we could say "hello and well done" to Jason Beachcroft - a man who was expected to complete his beautiful personal journey from Rose Bay to Rose Bay, the very long way. It was gusting up to 25 knots outside, so we returned to the harbour thinking that the tired man of the sea was probably slogging it up the cliff line from Botany Bay. Any one seen Jason? A very humble a...

Recent circumnavigations of Australia in Nadgee Kayaks are testiment to this proven character. Over recent weeks the kayak "plug" has been undergoing detailed shaping and refinement. I like this g...

Friday, October 3, 2014. Coming soon to the east coast of Australia . Here are a few early photographs of Lawrence Geoghegan at Nadgee Kayaks Australia. Shaping the foam plug in advance of making the production moulds for an innovative and swift long distance expedition sea kayak. Swift, but not necessarily. As fast as other fine tourers already available elsewhere. For what this kayak design sheds in hull speed it gains in the more nuanced facets of stability and true agility. This kayak has an exceptio...

EASTERN HORIZON: December 2013

Saturday, December 7, 2013. Some stats from our recent paddling . 140 kms have been paddled in the last 6 days - that's with 30 kgs of bagged sand as load stashed into the fore compartment, cockpit and aft compartment. Today Tony and I did a 70 km paddle from Sydney Harbour up to Broken Bay and back. We were fortunate to have favourable weather and sea conditions - although there was a solid swell running. It's been satisfying to get these distances completed in varied sea and wind conditions. Making a s...

Monday, December 1, 2014. Hokkaido - A visit to the Master. By fortunate circumstance I am in Hokkaido, Japan, designing with two architect friends a very special building and landscape for a truly spectacular mountain site. A site that has a panoramic view and at the focus of which is a snow-capped volcanic mountain of incredible physical and spiritual presence, looking for all the world like a Hokusai woodblock print. I open up my kayak blog with a small tablet device on the same timber table and share...
