Hi Edith,

I have great admiration for you. You’ve got me by 3 years (68) and I agree totally with your philosophy of life and the way you live it.

I would recommend you read the book "SEA-KAYAKER---DEEP TROUBLE by Mat Broze and George Gronseth." There are lots of safety tips and problems to be aware of that you might not even suspect, much like flying I think. A young acquaintance of mine was just buried two days ago from an ultra light plane crash at our small local airport here in IN, USA. So you can read about safety while you build. If you can’t find the book in Australia let me know and I will send you a copy.

Keep us informed about your progress and what you are doing.

Take care,
John
