Do you ever get into this time warp place, where you are going to do something
and the next time you look it is a week later or something like that,
darn that seems to happen to me all the time.
Life gets in the way of doing the things that really float ya boat,
instead of shaking your fist at a world that can seem so mind numbingly boring
filled with all the things you are supposed to do, you now buy a house,
have a nice car, save for the pension plan,yadda yadda !!!
It was great to meet a couple of guys who decided they would live
a dream and go on a small kayak paddle southport to cooktown actualy
only a short trip 
I met up with Pete and Matt last week as I was going for a an Mtb ride
that took me down by the Pumicstone passage. Pete is an outdoor activities
guide and Matt is an intensive care nurse, who decided that they wanted to experience
life in a simple mode.
So a four month Kayak paddle up the east coast of Australia seemed to be a good thing
to do.
I saw the guys pull and had a yarn with them I took a bit of audio and
some pics, try as I might i could not get the audio onto the player a
technical challenge that has stymied me at this point in time.
The guys have only just started the trip it is not a sponsored passage
or anything other than two people stepping up and making life go the
way they want it they promised me a few pics on the way around
so I hope we can follow there journey
I caught up with them as they finished there lay day at Bribie Island it
was starting to get a good breeze going as they set of fortunately in the
right direction for them.
The offer to load all the gear into the back of my work ute for the haul to water was greatfully accepted as they had the other occupants of the caravan park staring at them strangely when they brought everything into the camp using a borrowed wheelbarrow.
As the lads stowed everything into the boats I wished them well,
said Bon voyage and headed back to work, knowing that my time was
coming soon to experience the sense of well being that goes along
with committing to a goal and to stepping up to the start line of life.
If you are a reader of this blog for any length of time you would know of
my upmost admiration for those who take on life,
and live the wonders that so few forget that is available.
There is no reason, not to be able find in life, the ability to live like there
is no tomorrow and dance like there is no one watching.
To be able to read stories of simple acts of courage, to amazing feats
of endurance, is a most uplifting thing to be able to understand
every action we take we are an event in some body else’s life.
Go out and get on the start line enjoy this wonderful thing called life
