Jack, I also read Endurance, and visited the exhibit at the museum where they had their skiff, thats what gave me the idea to go out in the first place. They made many many launches in their small skiff in damp, fur coats when it was -20. And yes I was also worried about getting back out again...

(Just finished "Endurance" --- the story of Shackleton's adventures in Antarctica, who had vaguely similar problems, although of a much larger scale. You might consider reading that before attacking the Hudson.) That's always been my concern when doing crazy stuff like that. > > Jack Martin -- +------------------------------------------------+ | Tim Gamble (212) 385-0200 v | | Syllog Inc.
