Re: [Paddlewise] Atlantic crossing failed

 I  had the opportunity to meet Peter Bray in Wales.  I even took a canoe
safety course from him.  However, I missed seeing Peter Bray's kayak,  It
had left Anglessey a day or two before I arrived.   I will be interested in
reading more about the incident.

I have to say, I am certainly glad Peter survived the ordeal.  Peter is a
very fine fellow.  Not arrogant at all.  The kind of person that goes out of
his way to be helpful to a stranger. Peter has a captivating personality;
someone you just like immediately.   He certainly has my respect.


Peter's website:  http://www.outdoorchallenge.co.uk/nakc2000/index.htm

I could not find the story on the thetelegram.com site.   Any suggestions as
to how to look up the article on "thetelegram..com?"
