In the sequel, "Watkins' Last Expedition," Chapman has a fascinating description of a stormy trip down the Greenland coast with a group of Inuit, during which he capsized several times and had to roll up using a storm roll. He also describes using the sliding stroke. Unfortunately, when my mother-in-law moved in with us, my copies of Chapman's BAARE books got packed away by my wife along with the rest of my library while I was sick, and I don't know which box they are packed in. Chuck Holst ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In Chapter XII of "Northern LIghts" (the official account of the British arctic air route expedition) the author (F. Spencer Chapman) discusses the advantages of using a kayak to keep the expedition fed as opposed to hauling tons of food along. Ten pages of fascinating reading.
