Na de drukte van Las Vegas een paar dagen wandelen in het prachtige Sequoia National Park vanuit Wuksachi Lodge.

Paar dagen in Las Vegas op weg van Phoenix naar San Francisco met de auto. We slapen in het Venetian.

Vanuit New Orleans zijn we via Denver naar Phoenix gevlogen waar Sander op Falcon Field met het eerste praktijkstuk van zijn KLM FA opleiding bezig is. We kunnen alvast een keer oefenen met de first solo van zijn crew mate op dat moment. Voor ons eigen CPL vliegen we met een Cessna 172 RG in dit deel over Sedona, Payson en over de Grand Canyon.

Goed getimed! Sander is precies wanneer wij in Phoenix zijn toe aan zijn first solo in een motorvliegtuig.

HOBIE said FISH THE WORLD and we did. (Part 1 - South Carolina Hank Parker, Australia) We landed and released four-foot Pike in the shadows of castles in France and beneath the windmills of Holland. We laughed a lot and learned about fishing the French Broad and the farm ponds of North Carolina with Bass Fishing Hall of Fame member Hank Parker. In Australia we landed fish we had never heard of like the slate grey Sooty Grunter and fish well never forget like the Barramundi. Join us as we pedal the Pro Angler and the fleet of Hobie Kayaks on the Oxbows of the Mississippi, the Lower Owens in the Eastern Sierras, the Louisiana bayous, Corsica, and down the west coast of Baja Mexico.

Ken and Sylvianne Roberts bought their Krogen 48' North Sea prior to retirement and share what they love about the boat, the Kadey-Krogen service, and the Krogen family. The boat is big enough for them but also a size they can handle on their own, she's capable of cruising offshore, and she is built by a company who pays attention to detail as well as customer service.

John Rose started sailing Snipes in 1948 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. That was right after World War II and people were just beginning to think about what they could do for fun. Over the next 10 years the fleet exploded from 8 boats to over 50 and John started winning races and then regattas in the mid-West. John's always loved wooden Snipes and he saw the change coming when the fiberglass Snipe was introduced in 1954. It took 13 years of constant development before the first glass boat won a National Championship in 1967. His love of wooden boats is still there. He worked hard to make the Wooden Snipe Rally at this year's Snipe Masters a success. There were wooden boats there that had been lovingly restored to better than new condition with owners who could tell you just exactly what the pedigree of their boat was and the changes from the original construction made to it over the years.

Woody Norwood started sailing Snipes when he was 12 years old in the mid 50's. When he graduated to skippering his sister signed on as crew and together they weighed in at around 120 pounds. That was the perfect weight for sailing a Snipe at the Atlanta Yacht Club. Woody got one of the first fiberglass boats in 1957. There were technical issues with those early boats but their was no beating the ease of maintaining them. They didn't require complete refinishing each winter and they didn't leak when you put them in the water each Spring. Just like surfers, Snipes in big waves and breeze are an incredible ride. Woodys got a great story to tell about sailing off shore of Ft. Lauderdale in the late 50's.
