Kokatat Ronin pfd

Posted by Freya on August 28, 2007

My new Kokatat Ronin pfd arrived!!! Just sorry it missed my Iceland circumnavigation…but it will be a very useful item on future trips!

I really like it for it’s nice and comfi fit, nothing is bothering or rubbing.

I customized it with a strap holder for my knife, strobe light, VHF radio and Epirb (for more solo remote paddling trips :-)) )

The position of my VHF radio is like I can even use it and talk when it is still attached - quite useful for quick checkups with the other end of the field.

The front pocket takes my Olympus waterproof camera, the pocket behind the front pocket contains some personal small items like lip sunscreen, dry suit zipper wax, and a bar or two.

And don’t tell me the "coal" color looks sometimes a slight bit dark blue-ish…it is BLACK! :-))

BLACK BELT sea kayaking

Posted by Freya on August 11, 2007

Morgan Goldie from North Water donated me the first

"BLACK BELT"

in sea kayaking - a custom made tow belt from his company. Thanks, Morgan!

It usually comes in black and red, is very detail-orientated made and a pretty useful item!

Now I think I need to prove I deserve that honor :-))

I was happy to use a long list of other North water items on my Iceland trip, too, and all of them proved to be a great choice! I’ll do a write-up soon.
