Re: [Paddlewise] tori murden

She only capsized once on this trip - caused by rough seas from Hurricane Lenny.
The 15 capsizes were during an attempt in 1998, when she tried a west to east
crosssing.

Actually, I heard on a news byte that Tori capsized her craft 15 times on
this latest crossing. Last year, she had to abort her first crossing
attempt due to bad weather. Somehow I doubt it was all that boring of a
trip. Also, I would like to know how she dealt with capsizes (if indeed
true). I saw pictures of her craft, and she was quite exposed to the
weather. Also, it did not seem like she was strapped, which she must have
been to survive a capsize. Anyone know more about her craft?
Cheers,
Kevin
