        What Do You Carry on Your PFD?
                                                                                by Christopher Cunningham
 
In my editorial for our April 2007 issue I provided a list of the gear that I keep with me in my PFD. We asked a few of our adventuresome contributors what they carried on their PFDs and the answers offered a wide range of gear. Surprisingly some of the kayakers paddling in the most challenging regions carried the least gear.     Click here to read more.

        Andrew McAuley
                                                                                by Christopher Cunningham
 
With scarcely more than a day’s paddling left in his 1000-mile solo crossing from Tasmania to New Zealand, Andrew McAuley was lost at sea.
 
Andrew, 39, had previously logged a 330-mile crossing of Australia’s Gulf of Carpenteria and several solo crossings of Bass Strait between Australia and Tasmania. Last year he lead a 625-mile kayaking expedition along the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. He also had a number of remarkable achievements as a mountaineer.     Click here to read more.

       This is a very exciting time for the Advertising Department.
 
Advertising and Marketing trends have shown us that our industry has been changing over the past several years and in the last 2 years these changes have been dramatic. Consumers are constantly searching all forms of media for products and information; to keep pace with the broader array of media, magazines have to go far beyond the printing business to engage our readership and provide them with an interactive venue and with the immediacy that they have come to expect.
