murden's is an accomplishment beyond what any/most of us can imagine. 
 
i attended last month's annual conference of the american alpine club where 
mountaineering greats like brad washburn, arlene blum and conrad anker spoke 
about their journeys, adventures and discoveries--their presentations were 
fascinating and inspiring.  do kayakers have a comparable organization where 
the greats and the near-greats come together and share their experiences?  i 
mean, what a wonderful evening it would be to sit and listen to tori murden 
talk about those 81 days . . .
