And some other differences: 1) Artic Sea Kayak Race participants are served hot meals and sleep at night-The Texas Water safari participants paddle until they die or finish and are not allowed ANY support...only what they can carry in their boats. 2) The Artic race takes place in a latitude where the paddler's don't have to deal with much heat. The Texas race takes place in, well, Texas, during the summer where summers are brutal. By the way, I wasn't the one that was boasting about the race originally-that was probably Lee Deviney, but my original question still stands: Does anyone know of non-stop race longer than 260 miles (not km)? ------------------------------------------------------------------- Neil Harrison-Houston, Texas email: nil_at_nol.net (_at_ _at_) web: www.nol.net/~nil/ ----------------------------ooO~(_)~Ooo---------------------------- 100% recycled electrons *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Tue Apr 07 1998 - 14:02:06 PDT
