Default Call for wild canoe or seakayak culture stories!

OK, the whitewater folks have the rep for being 'crazee.' Well, I know
that fla****er and bigwater people are just as nuts...but in a
sustainable way, maybe more diverse, too (they're less monosyllabic).
So, c'mon, let me see some stories or fave posts---or please point me
to any you know of.

Does anyone get Atlantic Coastal Kayaker magazine? I'd think that
would have a lot of fine, fresh, candid, downhome wacked-out
storytelling. But I don't sub. Anyone here? I could always get a
back-issue. (I should sub, I know.)

I'm doing a new issue of my general interest DIY outdoor culture zeen,
OYB, in 2 weeks. I need a great boating piece!

Don't make me write it myself...again!

You might check out the back issues of New South Wales sea kayaker web
pages for the storey of the German who paddled to Australia to try and
find a job in the 30s only to be interned for being German when he got
there.

Look up nswseakayaker on a search engine, issue 50, page 46-50.

You might have a look at
www.kayakers.nf.ca there are some articles in
there that may be on interest. One is on the Sea Condition Rating
System . That talks of a bunch of beginners on a tour that had a foul
weather change. It was scary
Another is Bringing In The Year With A Thud by Robert Gagnon.
My web site is http://pages.ivillage.com/mcgruer that has some photos.
All Mine and you are free to use them for non proffit promotion of the
sport or Newfoundland.
There is a write up in Explore Magazine of a tragedy in New Brunswick
Canada. That can be found in the web site owned by the Atlantic Kayak
Association a New Brunswick based club. That is a rough article.
We have developed adventure race guidelines to avoid such tragedies
again , That was inspired by our experience and theirs.
