<...a sea kayaking fatality on Lake Superior.
Does anyone have any information?>

Chuck:

I talked to Don Dimond last week. There was apparently a kayaking fatality
near Thunder Bay earlier this year. A paddler drowned while attempting to
cross from Chippewa Park to Pie Island, about a 7-mile crossing, in heavy
seas.

What was the second death on Lake Michigan (not the Polish paddler)? There
are two paddlers attempting to cross from Chicago to Benton Harbor this
weekend.
