Fred, Pete and Paz met at the airport depot and helped load them in on Wednesday
We loaded the kit into the crate ourselves (taking special care to drag Matt's new paddles all the way across the carpark) and tied them down with a throwbag.
For you fact fans in the canoe club - The kayaks will be stacked sooo high they could be as high as 150m off the sea, the cargo ship is about three times as big as the "MSC Napoli", and may have to navigate 30ft seas on the way to Lima. ;-)
The crate had plenty of room, and smelt alot like fish. Just working in there with an open door was boiling! -I wouldn't be suprised if when we open the crate we find a heap of melted plastic!
This guy is driving the crate to Bristol. From there it is heading to Antwerp, then on to Miami before heading down the coast of South America (I presume after passing through the Panama canal).
And off they go!
