Looking at Peters website, it appears it may have been a failed one way valve. I wish him luck on his next attempt. http://www.outdoorchallenge.co.uk/nakc2000/index.htm "it appears that a non-return valve may have failed in the kayak's bilge-pump system which led to the boat quickly filling with water. Our initial information that the kayak was found upside down was in error. The skipper of the fishing vessel, Eastern Gambler, who first spotted the abandoned kayak says she was awash and listing but was lying right-side-up." ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Mon Jun 19 2000 - 15:54:29 PDT
