G'Day Fernando,

Thanks for the two web sites - sorry for being so slow to reply but was 
travelling through the UK and US for the last month. The section on 
Pittaraks was particularly interesting as our group will probably be 
paddling Pittaraks in Tierra del Fuega and I've also just bought one. The 
photos of the dry suits being worn in the ice water were impressive but I 
wonder how long they could have stayed lying in the water like that?

All the best, PeterO
