Paul Caffyn speaks in Adelaide
For those who haven’t heard yet, Paul Caffyn, arguably the world’s most experienced sea kayaker, is travelling to Adelaide on the 19-20th November, primarily to see the 1930-built Greenland sea kayak of John Rymill. This kayak is an exhibit at the Mawson Centre of the SA Museum. However Paul is also planning to give a talk on Saturday evening, 20th November, on his recent expeditions to East Greenland as per the attached flyer.
Venue and time as follows:
Date : Saturday 20th November
Time : 6:30pm
Venue : The Armoury, Level 1, at rear of SA Museum, North Terrace Adelaide
Cost : $5, payable at the door.
See attached flyer
Please note that Paul will be taking orders for his book “The Dreamtime Voyage“, a 25th anniversary edition of the account of his cirumnavigation of Australia. This is a must-have publication (and Christmas is coming up fast!)
Hope to see you there, please RSVP to canoesa1@canoesa.asn.au to assist with catering/venue.
Amongst sea kayakers Paul Caffyn is almost in a class of his own. For the longest time after he finished his awesome solo circumnavigation of Australia the silence was deafening: few of his peers knew the significance of what he had done, and perhaps those who understood felt lost in his shadows. Not only is Paul’s Australian adventure a pinnacle for sea kayaking, it should eventually be recognized as one of the great small voyages of recent history along with those of Slocum, Shackleton and Franz Romer.” Ñ John Dowd
