…are now starting to come in. I’m not going to go in to details about what the IR VTH is- if you don’t know, you can get the full story here. In the meantime, we have begun preparing the video entries for the web, and here is the first one that we have ready. Ladies and Gentlemen, I take great pleasure in introducing “Team Low Pressure”:


To date, your annual vacation to hell's have been less than imressive. You should stop now and save yourself further embarrassment.
Let me handle this response for you guys:

Entries were due in by August 2008… I only see 1 entry. What's up with that? Did you extend the deadline or is the trip off due to lack of interest?
Hey Brian,
we just announced the winners- check out the top of the site to see the whole story. We only got a handful of entries this year- I'm not sure why, but it doesn't bother me too much- the end result of this grant is to explore the far corners of the earth via kayak, and we have a great destination, and a really qualified team. Mission accomplished.
Just saw the article in my latest C&K. Awesome idea. As to comments about embarrassing failures; it was obviously not on your part. Whether a mission is completed or not is due to both circumstance and the cajones of the individuals involved. I do not yet have the experience for one of these adventures, but by the time you have your next one, I will have enough paddling time under my belt to satisfy you. As for quitting or short-cutting an adventure; I’d rather lose my other leg, even if I had to finish myself. I am your next candidate.
