Anyone who grabs Tara on her Dublin visit would get a great lecture I am sure.
Some of that archipelago is at 80+ degrees north and serious bear country.

Tara has just successfully completed the sea kayak circumnavigation of the Svalbard Archipelago in the Arctic Ocean, a world first. She did this with another Kiwi called Jamie Sharp and a Norwegian PG Porsanger. Their website is

Tara's email address is nztara1@gmail.com Tara does not know anyone in Ireland and it would be nice if some Irish sea kayakers met her on her visit. You will have to make contact as she is not likely to court any publicity. Her book is "A winter Paddle", a great read.

Met this lady at the symposium in Dungarvan and saw her slides. Impressive
