A representative for the Finnish team said Esa Norokorpi came upon sudden open water before dawn and he did not have time to avoid it. Jukka-Pekka Tolonen said in a Facebook message that the water was not deep, adding that Norokorpi and his racing partner Markku Rytinki were lucky they were only about 20 kilometres away from Port Hope Simpson.
Cain’s Quest, which began on Saturday, follows a circuit from Labrador City in the west to the east coast, hitting both the southernmost and northernmost communities of Labrador before looping back to the starting point. Jill Maepea, a meteorologist with Environment Canada, says a warm air mass is bringing unusually warm temperatures to much of Labrador, conditions that are expected to last for most of the week.Share this article in your social network
