The excitement is building, a week to go. Donations and pledges are starting to come in nicely, and by the time we start the race we should have raised a decent amount for The Sunflower Fund. Remember no donation is too small, together we can make a big difference!
The batches have just been put up on the Dusi site and we are scheduled to start at 7h50 for the first day. This will hopefully change to 7h00 if we make it into the charity batch which is auctioned off (closing on Saturday). This gives us a nice advantage as we start only 1 hour behind the leaders and should have most of the day done before it get's too hot. We will also be amongst the better paddlers up front, so hopefully shouldn't be knocked out our boat by novices taking crazy lines or getting stuck right in the main channels. The portages also tend to get a bit congested later in the day, especially the very steep, bushy and hot path through Devil's Cauldron - so it will be a bonus to get through there before the crowds.
Last CMH dice tonight at Kingfisher, and probably our last hard paddle before Dusi. See you there for a cold Hansa afterwards!
