>From this morning's newspaper (The Press, Thursday edition), a note that Chris Duff, attempting to solo circumnavigate the South Island of New Zealand, had his kayak "split in two" and he'd radioed for assistance, been picked up by helicopter and taken to Milford Sound settlement at 6.00 p.m. Wednesday. Was it a British "heavy"? Alex . .

That's, Stiff, stiff, stiff! And, Outside, outside, outside (epoxy seams)! And, Heavy, heavy heavy (even heavier than Chris had!) Oh yeah, Nordkapp, Nordkapp, Kordkapp! BTW, Paul Caffyn told Chris he wouldn't make it without a Nordkapp - seriously! He did say that. I told Chris he would be a fool to go without his VHF radio (he was still unsure at a slide show here in Victoria prior to going). Bet he was glad he took it (and here's me who just bought one after twenty years of doing without).
