WANTED: 40 used sea kayaks, 5 used canoes, paddles and equipment for a project in Africa!
Having been paddling for some 20 years, when I moved to Rwanda, a small country in the middle of Africa, a couple of years ago I set up 'sea' kayaking on Lake Kivu in the African Rift Valley and a canoe trip on a local river. It's been incredible! Kingfisher Journeys is making a real difference in a...

Re: Icom.m23.hand held vhf.radio.
I've had an Icom M31 since 2008. Kept it in an aqua pack, but used it hundreds of times in the sea and in big rough conditions, Never ever had a problem.

I suspect it'll be only the upper dart running though.
