Seaward Kayaks
www.SeawardKayaks.com
The second half of the expedition takes
us through the big waves of the Pacific. Rougher conditions
require tougher equipment. For us the Seaward "Vision" kayak
is the only solution. The kevlar-reinforced hulls with bow guards and
all the trappings will withstand all the punishment we give them. The
largest storage capacity in the entire Seaward line of boats allows us
to pack all our gear for a year and a half. Check our photo galleries to
see the boats in action and contact Seaward or your nearest dealer to
take a test ride.

Garmin
On clear nights ancient mariners looked to the
stars for navigation. Now, anytime, any weather, any place, satellite links materialize in
the palm of your handheld GPS and guide you to your destination. We will depend on Garmin

CASKE 2000 is happy to
welcome DataZone corporation as a new product sponsor. With all the website designing and
photo editing we do on our small palmtops, we had reached our maximum hard drive capacity.
I was looking for the best and safest way to store more data and still be to transport it
easily in our kayaks. The DataBook was the best choice. We received an 8 GB storage device
which is fast, shock-resistant and portable.
We highly recommend the DataBook. For more information contact DataZone directly at:

it in with one hand and sail away.
