Tierra Del Fuego Denied Fraught with problems and delays from the outset, New York City expedition paddlers Marcus Demuth and Biff Wruszek finally called for an evacuation, one month into their attempted 60-day circumnavigation of Tierra Del Fuego. Located off the southern most tip of South America the island is renowned for high winds and huge storms. Te pair were storm-bound at Caleta Falsa in Argentina for 11 days before pulling the plug—or rather pushing the SPOT button.
Tight Purses, Fewer Skirts Te Outdoor Industry Association (OIA) re- ported that retail sales of outdoor recreation gear and garments dropped two per cent in 2009 from the previous year. Last year’s sales totaled an estimated $5 billion. Camping items, climbing gear and hiking boots appeared to be the least affected categories. Te report also showed that paddling shop sales were down seven per cent. How about a government bail out (pun intended)?
