Hello folks,

There's news from Sisimiut!

Greenland, that is... Maligiaq wrote recently saying he had  won in the
international  Seakayaking Championship category  for 20-34 year olds. What a
guy! Hopefully we will be hearing more from those who were able to go to Nuuk
and take in the racing.

He also mentioned that he will be going to Delaware in the middlele of
September for the kayak building workshop to be held there.

Other Sismiut news concerns a Norwegian kayaking 'champion' named Roy Johansen
who attempted to paddle across Baffin Bay to Baffin Island. Not surprisingly,
he ran into trouble in the form of ice - again no surprise there, the east
coast of Baffin is packed with ice. He was rescued with frozen feet and is
planning to recuperate in Florida - hello Florideans!

Back to paddling...
