>> I understand that within the past few days there was a note on this site which I missed about British paddlers going to Greenland to teach Inuit there about Inuit sea kayaking skills. I would greatly appreciate some one with that message available reposting it to me. Thanks, Chuck Sutherland (skimmer_at_mail.enter.net) >> Quoting from the London Times Web site (October 15): "The new expedition, which will take boats built to a traditional Greenland design by Nigel Dennis Kayaks, of Anglesey, aims to restore to the people of eastern Greenland a key part of their culture. The Inuit there still hunt seal but use rifles and boats with outboard motors. Mr Burnell said that they tended to see the kayak as dangerous, a view that the team hopes to overcome by demonstrating the modern unsinkable versions."
