I've got a gut feeling that responses from the respectable audience are masking genuine reaction, :-), which, probably, such jorney deserves - feeling of being humbled. So, in the spirit of that - of course, ignorance is a bliss; (though, I suspect, at least one of them had some knowledge and experience). And there was something else that made such trip possible - loose schedule. They followed coastline, crossing inlets only when they had no other choice and when water was right. With a sufficient dose of precaution the only inevitable obstacle could be currents in some places, and sudden fog (and prevailing northwest winds on this nortbound route). Enough to get in trouble. They also had a pretty heavy boat with food, water, camping stuff etc. I wonder, how many women would keep from trying to bail out from such a trip over all these 4 months :-)... *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
