Dear Tord, Jens and all, here is a link to a local news site, which has some interesting images. As you can see, there was some floating ice. http://www.nwt.se/ArticlePages/200703/17/20070317085002_NWT409/ 20070317085002_NWT409.dbp.asp I will gather my little investigations into a small report... I did find out some statistics about wind and weather temps... No extra information from the club. I would like to know more about the kayaks and their training. The 5 to 15 training times of per week, which were mentioned in the interviews, do not tell anything about safety issues or their capability into risk evaluation.
