61 days to go, exactly 2 months today!

Where does the time go?!?!? It's getting closer by the day, before it was weeks. I think we're almost at the point of counting hours, scary!!

It is at this time that I find myself drawing a lot of inspiration from other people's aventures. I would like to share some of those adventures with everyone supporting PaddleFree. Check these people out, they are remarkable!
  • 3 women from the Isles of Scilly (including my good friend, Carol) have just completed a cycle ride from John O'Groats to Land's End to raise money for a warming blanket at the island's hospital. They finished today!! Well Done Ladies!!!!!
  • I am reading 'Sailing the Dream' by Mike Perham (www.sailmike.com), the world's youngest globe solo circumnavigator. What a guy!! This kid is going to be one of those people that sets the world alight and inspires others his whole life. Two world records before the age of 18!
  • Dave Cornthwaite (www.thegreatbigpaddle.com) paddled the entire length of the Murray-Darling river in Australia, and is planning to Stand Up Paddle from the UK to Africa. All this after skateboarding across Australia for www.boardfree.com (book avaliable on the website). I met Dave whilst studying at Swansea where he was running the newspaper. He is now a professional adventurer!
All these people are taking risks and living their dreams, true inspiration! So, when you feel like you need a good kick up the proverbial pick up one of these books, check out a website or 2, set yourself a goal and have the courage to reach for it. It's scary as hell but there isn't a pick-me-up like it!

Keep dreaming! Sara x
