Thank you, Karel, for sending me the weather messages on my sat-phone all those long eleven months of my OZ trip, plus previously already on my Iceland and New Zealand circumnavigation! It was invaluable and probably even life-saving at times!

I presented you my silver kayak I had on my neck all the way around Australia. You deserve it on yours now! Please keep it close!

Thanks, Karel! You are a great friend!
