On Thursday morning, I dropped Alan and Megan off at Pangkalang Tebang at the upper reaches of Sg Sarawak Kanan so that they could ‘float’ down all the way to Wind Cave. Due to the lack of rainfall on previous days and the presence of large number of fallen trees, it was not quite the float that they expected! The anticipated 6 hours trip took slightly an hour longer, but they still loved it!

They were impressed by the lush and un-spoilt tropical vegetation here and mystified by the ‘suicide frogs’ that kept leaping in front of the kayak!

Alan and Megan are keen canoe marathon racers in South Africa and had won several races. Megan has won a single s race and as a team they had came in second in a marathon race last year. Mind you, these are no ordinary canoe marathon races; you have to run carrying them on land to get from rivers to rivers! One of the races is 3 days long! Now, that's what you call a marathon, Kenny boy! And they had provided me with this link so that I can check it out for more information on South Africa canoeing and races. After their narrow, fragile and unstable fiberglass racing canoes, my wide beam plastic kayak's stability felt as solid as a rock. Alan says that he felt like he could almost dance on them!

Here are some more photographs taken by Alan and Megan to share with us, who by the time you are reading this are probably scaling Mt Kinabalu or diving at Sipadan! An adventurous life - lived! What are we waiting for? Heehee
