VIdeo Link — Sea kayaker Chris Duff in the Faroe Islands

PORT ANGELES-BASED adventurer and author Chris Duff recently reached a major milestone in his attempt to row from Scotland to Iceland — the Faroe Islands.

(See May 28 PDN article: https://www.peninsuladailynews.com/article/20120529/NEWS/305299989 ).

Karen Hanan of Port Angeles has been a local contact for Duff and passed along a link to a Danish TV report done on him this week (the Faroe islands, a self-governing dependency of Denmark since 1948, are approximately halfway between Scotland and Iceland).

Here’s the note from Hanan:

“Hi everyone, Chris just sent me a link to an interview done over there in the Islands.

“The link is http://www.kringvarp.fo/netvarp — click on the date – 5 Juni 2012.

“It takes a while to download and open but once it does, you can advance to Chris’s segment at 4:20 — goes till 8:24.

“Good luck with this — worth working at though.”
