1 week to go...

1 week 'til takeoff, so Dan and Dave say farewell to Sydney with great friends, pancakes and real canadian maple syrup...

Dave says goodbye to some of the gang (including an extra special friend... thanks for the knee Waz!)

Dave, Dan, Mr Chris, Mr Lewis

Thanks for the lollipops and cake Lewis!

Pip and Em (aka the Pancake People!)

The lovely Jess, Bron, Pip

Em, Pip, Soph, Fiona escape the frenzy

Simon with only two beauties? (When there were so many to choose from!)

Dan says goodbye to good friends (Lou, Pip, Bron)

Rod takes it all in his stride, while Alex and Wendy look way too happy for our liking.

This is what losing two favourite paddlers does to Coach James...

Don't worry, we'll miss you too.

Thanks to everyone who made it along to make saying goodbye a lot of fun. It made us realise what a great bunch of people we're leaving behind.

But, as much as we'll miss all of you, who could pass up this adventure?

Keep logging on every now and then to find out what we left you for... See you in Canada!
