Arrival in Sicily

Today the ferry arrived in Palermo, Sicily, 24 hours later than scheduled due to the rough seas. My friend Giacomo Della Gatta greeted me at the ferry and assisted in helping me with my Current Designs Solstice GTS kayak which paddled more than 900 km of Sardinian coastline. I appreciate the hospitality of Giacomo and his family and the support of Current Designs, who recognize that I am committed to achieving my goals safely. The logistics of this journey were simplified greatly through Giacomo's support. And through using sound judgement regarding my personal safety, this journey will continue when calmer seas will prevail. This journey is not over, this journey, like my ferry, is delayed:-)

Giacomo, an accomplished sea kayaker, has started a blog which is linked on his website.

For now, since my Sardinian circumnavigation is halted and since an unexpected change in circumstances has occurred, the continuation of "Kayak Island Quest-Sardinia/Sicily" will occur in May, 2008. Until then, I will be blogging at Kayak Wendy.
