Made my own timber sea kayak last year took a bit of time took about a whole year chipping away at it in spare time invisioned romantic trips up the Noosa river here in qld with wifey but I'm thinking kayaking ain't her cup a tea ah well more room for fishing gear

We have a stretched hide sea kayak that the owner's brother made hanging on the ceiling of the brewery. We ran lights inside of it and light it at night! its pretty need. Still fully functional, but the brother moved to Colorado and was happy to donate it to the cause. We have a second one but we are trying to figure out where to put it.

I love kayaking, spent about a month kayaking around the islands outside of Danpier(sp?) WA. It was amazing. Spent a second month Backpacking in the King Leopold Range. Beautiful place, lots of great memories.

Noice mate that's some remote parts of Australia you woulda seen a bit of Australia's Iron ore and Gas refineries over there.

I spent some time working on a pearl boat as far south as Exmouth and then all the way up north past Broome around the Kimberlies across to Darwin.

Very rugged. We were backpacking in Aboriginal land. Up to 2 days major medical. Got a food resupply every 9 days while backpacking and 7 while kayaking. Went with the National Outdoor Leadership program back in 2006. There we 12 of us plus 2 instructors.

Def saw the refineries off Danpier. We actually shut down a major shipping lane doing a 17km open water crossing while kayaking.

The little acoustic is set up for slide playing. There is one more acoustic in the case on the floor, a nice Japanese Takamine. I don't play much acoustic guitar, as you might guess from the photo.
