Picton! CONGRATULATIONS BABS!



Monday 24th March 2008
Babs made approximately 5pm Picton after an early start before sunrise from Guards Bay in the outer Marlborough Sounds. Several people paddled out to meet Babs on her way in including Paul. Waiting for her at Alan Bydes was Max Grant and Family, Harriet from Westport and numerous others that have either meet Babs on her way or have been following her trip.

Wow! Du har verkligen imponerat på mig och på många! Trodde absolut att du skulle klara det när du startade, men du har haft det väldigt tufft!

Men nu har du klarat det! Sträck på dig och känn dig som en riktig vinnare!

Grattis tjejen!!!!!

Yes great job James, the daily updates and good presentation made it is easy to keep up with Bab's journey. I felt I was a part of it just by checking in every day.

Hej Babs, Vad roligt att du äntligen har kommit fram. Vad fort du paddlar som en javla racermaskin.....Ska bli kul att ses och få höra lite mera smaskiga historier. Vi har följt med lite på vägen, men det känns inte som på riktigt, ska bli kul att se kort. Kram på dig.
Vi har det gott i Frankrike åker skider hela tiden, det tar inte stopp. kram igen
