BODEKA friend expedition sea kayaker Sandy Robson is retracing the Oskar Speck epic journey. Here is Sandy's message: "Oskar Speck set out in a folding kayak on the Danube River in 1932. Seven years, several kayaks and many thousands of kilometres later, he landed in Australian waters. Inspired by what has to be the most amazing kayak journeys of all time, I am retracing the Speck route across the world in a kayak. This website is where you can follow my paddle strokes. Living simply out of a kayak, I have found out that there are many things in life that we can do without, but dreams are not one of those things. Funding a five year journey across the seas is an ambitious task in itself though, and I really need more sponsors to keep the expedition afloat. If you would like to help to make this dream a reality please donate a little to help keep the expedition going."
