I came across this article on rafting, which plunged me straight into my must fulfill dreams list. Rafting in Iceland! I can only shiver in anticipation. Glacial melt water that will probably be enough to freeze my poor fingers to the paddles, but I bet my heart will fly over the coldest river available for rafting. Folks, if you’re into adrenaline, and you get hooked and go, don’t forget to let me know.
Actually, the reason why I was exploring rafting on the net is that I had complaints from my clients that the site doesn’t really cover a lot of areas of operations of Wide Aware, and one of them was rafting. Its true. I haven’t yet put half the information I really want to on this place, but then, this site is like my temple. I doubt if it will ever be complete [:D]
Another interesting thing I came across was on the Paddling instructor website, where they speak of Yaka - a Goan company (that is the Indian distributor for Perception kayaks) and their show stealing exhibition in the Mumbai International Boat Show on 22-25 February, 2007. I missed the show unfortunately, or I’d have written here about it, but this sparks my interest again. Another area I need to explore.
The other thing worth noting in the Watery adventures world is the Adventure Safety & Rescue Training Workshop that took place in Rishikesh this February. The courses on offer are quite good, and it seems a very interesting option to explore for refresher courses for instructors. For those inclined to head out into the outdoors, this might be a very good training programme to watch out for, in any case. Its not only instructors who need to handle emergencies.
This brings me back to my main focus - rafting. Hmmm….. I promise to add more content. Not just here, but in all relevant areas of the site, but as its a one man show, do have patience and bear with me. meanwhile, I’d like to share a nice rafting information page about rafting in Rishikesh (yes we do that too, though I haven’t yet written about it) by Anand Kumar to keep you all ticking till I get my fingers on to the keyboard again.
See ya’ll!

What rivers are you planning to go rafting on in Iceland? I river guide in California and we have tons of fun rivers here as well. If you want to check out a cool california rafting news site go to http://www.caliriver.com. Also, do you want to exchange blog links?

Your site looks fantastic. Just shows me the importance of being regular on a blog. Heh. Iceland right now is a dream. I can’t plan a trip there for quite some time. Its one of those things I will be doing eventually.
But we can still exchange links. My people do want to read on rafting, and I am really terrible with maintaining this site. So it will be a good place for them to fuel up on rafting reading.
I wanted to contact you, but there is no email ID, and I can’t post a comment on your blog without logging in
I’ll just make the link and hope that you find it in your incoming links and land up back here
