Rescued, available for interviews. . .
Published March 6, 2008 | 
Remember I posted about the new SPOT satellite messenger a while back. Well, it’s obviously doing it’s job. Check out this article. In the end of what was no doubt a scary situation, the paddler was rescued by local folks in a dingy. The article wraps up with a note to editors that the paddler is available for interviews and that high resolution photography is also available on request. (lemonade anyone?)

hmm, marketwire website “reporting” news? Seems to me it’s more about marketing than news considering the incident happened 5 weeks ago:

Nevertheless, it looks like a great product that will save countless lives.
Yeah, you’re right on that. I was chatting with a friend about this via email like a week ago. We were surprised that someone was doing this trip and really, no one knew who it was or anything about the trip. Next thing you know, they are marketing the rescue. That’s usually not how you want people to remember your trip! Good story for SPOT though.
