[Paddlewise] Sad day

Hi folks. It's a sad day today, I just recieved news that one of Norways best
known sea kayakers is found dead on some beach near or at Lake Melville in
Canada. Roy Willy Johansen, was found dead after trying to paddle from
Greenland to Labrador. To read more go to

Does anyone know more about his escapades? Do tell.





Second, I want to share this poem I heard somewhere. I'm not sure about the
author, if you know, share!





For I am the captain of my craft


My word is law from fore to aft


I am the cook and the steward too


I am the passenger and crew


And though it's said I'm hard to please


I'm not afraid of mutinies


My only compliment at sea


I am as happy as can be ( I'm not sure about that last line!)





Regards Ole
