Boats and Bikes, after all

   Posted by: admin   in Writs

Did I say I wouldn’t often use the bikes tag and boats tag together the other day? I meant two posts in a row, apparently. Suddenly it’s all the rage:

Stumbled upon this over at Lunada Design. I love the idea of this, but am not convinced that rowing backwards is a great way to tour. I’m sure you cover more ground and use larger muscles, as they claim, but there is something to be said for a more forward-looking style of touring. I can see myself doing something like this with a sail rigged kayak. But kudos to them for sure, for even attempting a tour from Scotland to Syria, regardless of the type of boat used! Check out the link to the original story on the Lunada site.

Thanks for putting this article up on your blog. I’m sure that my buddy, Chris Partridge, over in England appreciates it as well as I swiped it from his site.

Would you be willing to let me link to your Blog on my Lunada Design site?

Regards,

Chris Ostlind

Hiya Chris, I’ll swap links with you for sure. I’m trying to get this thing fired up again after a summer hiatus, so I’ll add you in now. I read your blog often and have had my eye on your cat and tri designs for a while. I’f better finish the Guillemot first, however.
