Kayak Baja
Paddle for Cancer
Four colorful kayaks with three women
and one man from Bellingham Washington left Loreto a few days bringing them 2/3
of their way through their journey. Approximately 600
miles down the inside of the Sea of Cortez, the team, who has dedicated the trip
to bring awareness to ovarian cancer, touched shore for some deserved R & R
before continuing their challenging trek down the inside coast of the Baja
peninsula on the west coast of Mexico.
Suzie Dale
The trip began
on October 24, 2004 and will finish in Cabo San Lucas (at the tip of 1000 mile
long peninsula) tentatively early January. The three women and solo male from
Washington State planned extensively for this grueling test of skill which will
lead them through calm bays and rough wide open stretches of unprotected waters.
Their medic bag included sutures, trauma kits, and antidotes for scorpions.

The team, Rachel Brown, Trisha Wilkie, Suzie Dale and Frewin Hermer, paddles 10-15 miles a day and camps on the desolate coastline at night. They drink the fresh water they haul in their slender personal crafts and eat a diet of dehydrated foods they store and fresh fish they catch daily from the Sea of Cortez. They stop in isolated communities whenever possible to send messages home to family and friends at internet cafés. They have spent a week without seeing someone outside their team.
Frewin Hermer
Dale's mother Anne Dale passed away from ovarian cancer last summer while the team planned this arduous journey.
The determined crew is documenting their journey extensively with pictures and journals to assist future kayakers. They encourage everyone to visit their website (http://home.earthlink.net/~frewinh) for updates and current pictures.
They are expected to reach La Paz mid December. Rachel Brown
THE TEAM MEMBERS WANT TO THANK: *family and friends for support, encouragement, and donations
