"Peter Bray’s kayak capsized about 40 kilometres east of St. John’s Friday
and the 43-year-old ex-military officer spent 31 hours in the rubber
life-raft in waters with a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius."

It's a shame for him to have failed. I hope they send him a bill for the
rescue effort involved.

Cheers,
