The Black Knight
Published August 19, 2009 | 
“Peter Bray was 43 days into his attempt to row from Newfoundland to the Isles of Scilly when he was caught in 20ft (6m) swells and 46mph (74kph) winds.” – BBC
Peter Bray called for a rescue in the face of an oncoming hurricane shortly after 1200 BST. What else can you do!? Thanks Pete for setting a good example by demonstrating when to say when! Glad you’re OK…. What really sucks is having to leave the Black Knight at sea without even a flesh wound.

I wonder if it is the type of thing that they can leave a tracker on it and possibility pick it up later?

They couldn’t have put that beautiful sea kayak strapped to the deck? Guess he was plucked by a helicopter? I live here in Florida and Bill is already putting out some real swell here. Not sure there will be much left of her without at least a cockpit cover on. (but now I’m being morbid)
Remember that story a couple years back of an old NDK kayak found alive and well after being abandon at sea for over a year. I remember that they said it was pretty much perfect other than the food in the day hatch had gone off!
