Does anyone have an update on Maligiaq's situation? Haven't heard anything since Monday and was wondering about the progress.

Yes, I've had a couple of messages from Geno. I asked him to keep the rest of the group informed. Maligiaq was able to send him an e-mail. The kayak sponsored to him "feels good and paddles smoothly." His home-made paddles were not on the bus when he got there (!!!!!) and they'd put out a tracer. As of Friday July 30, Geno had received $80 in donations. He will mail a certified check (overnight) to Maligiaq when he gets a mailing address.

Maybe the same mailing address can be posted when someone gets it? e Elaine Harmon - eilidh_at_dc.seflin.org - eharmon_at_cs.miami.edu *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
>Does anyone have an update on Maligiaq's situation? Haven't heard >anything since Monday and was wondering about the progress. His kayak left our plant Monday evening shipped "Time Critical" and it sailed thorugh customs and arrived in Montreal early Wednesday morning. Michael Bradley and Maliguaq picked up the boat Thursday AM and when I heard from them on Thursday they had the paddles as well. Maliguaq was going to be doing a public demo at the Olympic Rowing Basin Friday evening and then prepare for the trials this weekend. This weekend there will be two preliminary races, a sprint and a longer race to weed out the weaker paddlers, Only the top 100 finishers in this weekend's race will be able to compete in the Traversee itself on the 8th. I will pass along information as I receive it.

He had two Greenland paddles packed in a tube and I don't know if he shipped them ahead or loaded them on the bus with him, but their whereabouts are unknown. I certainly hope that the paddles are located in time for the race. I had been storing these paddles for Maligiaq and shipped them to him in early July so he could train for the race. One of these paddles is the paddle that he made in Greenland and successfully used in the National Championships. It's one thing to be in a new boat, it's quite another to have to compete with an unfamiliar paddle. Keep your fingers crossed...

Maligiaq has his paddles, they arrived a day after he did. He has been trying some hi-tech paddles to compare them with his. One of the races in the preliminary is in fast current and he is concerned about the 'grip' his paddles will have as they are designed more for distance than power. I'll let you know on Monday how he did. Michael Bradley Greg Stamer wrote: > At 01:32 AM 7/31/99 -0700, Jackie Fenton wrote: > >Does anyone have an update on Maligiaq's situation?
