Another lady has paddled around the Canadian province of Prince Edward Island, completing the trip yesterday in 23 days. Jacki Lewis a Toronto lawyer, made the trip to raise money for cancer care-givers. She follows Wendy Killoran who did the same trip in May-June of 2005 in a time of 15 days. Two men are also known to have paddled around the island in the past, Barrett in 35 days and Reinhart Zollitsch who did the trip in a canoe in just 16 days. If folks out there know of others who have paddle around PEI, I would love to add their names (and times) to my list. I gather rom those who've done it, it's a great trip and a real achievement. Let's hear from you!

I had the extreme good fortune to billet Wendy Killoron for a few days before and after her epic accomplishment, and to paddle a stretch of my own home province of Nova Scotia with her. She is one amazing individual, a kayaker to the bone. I believe Ms. Lewis is claiming to be the first around PEI, but that is easily corrected. What she did in the name of cancer research is not at all diminished by being second. Well done!
