Re: Kayaking The 4000 Islands.
I'm in Cambodia in February or March which might serve as a bit of a reconnaissance period for later in the year after the rains (Sept/Aug?). Perhaps you may like to meet (and any others interested in a paddle) for a quiet beer.AndyKK wrote: ↑Mon Sep 02, 2019 12:27 pmI don't! But I know of someone with a hotel who has a few, he was saying too me to come and play with the boats some time ago. I can ask if he would hire, but I would have thought not, due to damage or loss, but also how much would the rentals be! If planning some time rental maybe not far off cost. Then at least you have the option to keep or sell. Boats for sale Phnom Penh I think I saw some not long ago. I also asked a member on this forum not long ago, if he would consider bringing one from Bangkok for me, but that will involve import tax.Kung-fu Hillbilly wrote: ↑Mon Sep 02, 2019 9:50 amI averaged 35km a day on the Murray paddle with a couple 65km days thrown in which I didn't find particularly difficult, just long - kayaking into the night is an interesting way to experience a river.SternAAlbifrons wrote: ↑Mon Sep 02, 2019 8:42 am ^^ You should do more than 20 k/day Andy. even with a low flow.
Andy, do you know of anyone who hires out kayaks in Cambodia?AndyKK wrote: ↑Mon Sep 02, 2019 8:17 amKung-fu Hillbilly is this appealing? If you ever get round to it, or something similar give me a call if you want a paddle companion.Kung-fu Hillbilly wrote: ↑Sun Sep 01, 2019 1:14 pmPortage isn't a particularly fun part of river journeys, it's true, though some consolation in doing Asian waterways would be the willingness of a few locals to hump gear, for a reasonable fee.

Always "hope" but never "expect".
