Below is forwarded from www.newscoast.com <http://www.newscoast.com/> “Two childhood friends who yearly do an adventure had a fatal kayaking mishap in the Florida Panhandle. Late Thursday night, Mart Dismukes of Sarasota, Fla and Warren Gould of Auburn, Ala., who had been friends since the third grade, finally set off on their second try. This time they used a top-of-the-line two-man seagoing kayak and took along cellular phones, Global Positioning System receivers, a waterproof marine radio and laminated maps to ensure that they didn't fail. But on Christmas Eve, 17 hours after the men had planned to complete their kayak trip, a search team found their bodies. “ For Local reporting see http://www.newscoast.com/2news.cfm?ID=37618 <http://www.newscoast.com/2news.cfm?ID=37618> I don’t know if they had any training or what kind of kayak is “top of the line” – I will forward more as I get it.
