Kayaking the Aleutians. Illustrated Talk
The award winning film maker and sea kayaker Justine Curgenven will give an illustrated talk about her Aleutian island expedition.
This is very much a flying visit between her busy series of worldwide talks and a forthcoming sea kayak trip in Antarctica.
Justine has strong Jersey connections and first started her sea kayaking in Jersey.
The Aleutians film has won 5 awards including Best Kayaking Film at the Llanberis Mountain Film Festival.
Join us for this great opportunity to share Justine’s adventures.
