Re: [Paddlewise] Caribbean

Chuck asked for more info on the powerboat collision and fatality of a
kayaker in the BVI.
Below is a long link to two articles in the Boston Globe about it. Or you
can find them like I did by going to the Boston Globe's website and
searching the last 30 days for British Virgin Islands.
The victims surviving partner in the kayak, Michele Granda, is also a
resident of the Boston area. She may or may not be ready to talk about it to
the kayaking press. I see her phone number is listed in Excite's people
finder so she could be contacted, but you might want to wait a while as I
suspect she is still pretty disturbed about the event.
