He would not do any of promised rolling demonstration until he got some beef jerky to chew on (The Boathouse had run out of seal meat). We quickly arranged for a beef jerky run to a local deli and this turned out to be the scariest moment he had in the States. One of our members drove him in a beat up yellow jeep across the highway, probably going in tne wrong direction and bouncing him through the steets of the Tribeca neighborhood in which the Boathouse is located. Maligiaq looked ashen on his return and for the rest of his stay kept talking about that scary ride. I scared him a bit when I drove his hostess's Jeep Cherokee around the city during their stay (she was wary of city traffic).
