Quelle date est la course? Je ne peux pas français je ne peux donc pas dire de l’affiche. Mon épouse et moi-même la planification d’un voyage en Europe l’année prochaine. Ainsi, nous pouvons peut-être essayer d’en faire ensuite.

I think that in France they still use the guillotine for pirates.
Avast matey, indeed.

No in France Pirates are called “Corsaire”, and we have an agreement with them : They attack english and spanish boats, and e leave them free to navigate in french seas… Guillotine was mostly used to get rid of kings and queens…

A l’abordage ! Pas de quartier !

ninefeet, je passe l’info… et je parlais de l’affiche. Garde ton Guéthary… je me contenterais de mon ile perdue loin de tout… ;-)

Great artwork. I’d go just for the t-shirt.

Come to think of it, the Frogs probably regard t-shirts as “declasse.”

Look great on a silk Aloha shirt.

The racing was great(especially as I actually won a race) the races were well organised with a great atmosphere of joyfull participation as well as a strong competitive element . outrigging is in it’s infancy in Europe (must be if I can win a race) but there are a lot of high level kayakers getting involved and the surf companies are putting up sponsorship, there are a few French guys planning on doing the Molo Solo next year , if you are there I will introduce you to them and you will be able to organise your trip around their races, so all in all the racing was great but its the hot naked chicks on the beach that you will remember it will reawaken your Euro chic streak. is it getting cold over there yet?
You wont have time to get wet anyway as you all have to work hard and help bail out the poor Wall St, bankers, It seems the USA is now a Socialist state, who would have thought For we are young and free

I actually thought about becoming a citizen of the United Socialist States of America. That’s gonna cost $600 plus. Some kind of socialism?!
For the solo is it Pa’a or Epic ?
Might as well get that little controversy restarted.

Well since Epic had me as not finishing the last race I wont be entering anymore of their events, so Im all for supporting Pa’a I would have this year but we were already booked in,
Whats the situation on Molokai re accomodation and “the company” are there still facilities or will we be camping?

I know the german chine-meister-reps make rentals available for the common mortals. Free of course if you can be certified as a qualificated OC Team paddler. As is common there will be the by then obligatory surcharge “a la surprise” (400 Euro=$600) that’s french for “surprise”, for the cross-continental shipping charges.
And then there is a german kanu builder . They make the Oracle and Helium.
The Oracle was paddled in a Molokai Solo a couple of years back.
Tank or Tuna ?
Beetle or Benz?
Paddelvergnuegen?

Following “official” advices it’s not dangerous even if a lot of fishes are diying since 3 weeks…but it’s not dangerous OK !
