Scott Dunlop sent the following update: "In early October Dean Harbridge '90 came down to Nova Scotia from Toronto so that we could go on a sea kayaking trip near Sheburne. I have been seconded to NS from Ottawa for several months and this seemed like an ideal opportunity to get out on the water. On our first day out we were caught about two km off shore when we encountered the tail end of Hurricane Karen. Karen was expected to land much further East but turned West at the last minute, which was news to us, the Coast Guard, Environment Canada not to mention our outfitter! In about 20 minutes light waves turned to 4-5 metre swells from the south with one metre of chop coming from the east off of a bay (I've never paddled up hill before!). We landed and waited out the storm hoping the surge plus the tide wasn't going to come over the beach and wash us out. The trip into shore was pretty un-nerving and the sound of the breakers moving tons of rocks up and down the beach all night is something I'll never forget. We were able to contact the outfitter the following day and dried out all of our things before heading out on the water again."
