Paddle Philippines complete 1st Circumnavigation of Cebu by Kayak

June 1 – 9, 2007 Cebu Philippines - The 1st Cebu Island Kayak Circumnavigation was conceived in Bohol, right after circumnavigating the island at the turn of the millennium. The plan however, was finally set sometime in December of 2006. It was set to be on the 20th of May 2007, but was soon moved to June 1, after schedules ran in conflict with some other concerns.

There was not much physical preparations, as it was believed that the endeavor would be much more challenging and exciting if done by ear so to speak, things would be arranged as we go along. It was more a mental psyching up, a preparation that was deemed necessary considering the mind over body principle, since it was foreseen that the greatest obstacle was the “self”. The target was to paddle an average of 50 kilometers per day.. more
