The Epilogue
Little Murka Recovered!
1st May, 2007
When Little Murka was savaged by the worst hurricanes in recent memory, thereby putting a premature end to KiteQuest 200, the waterproof camera that recorded Dom’s video diary entries from the stricken vessel was considered lost. However, when the apparently unsinkable Little Murka was washed up on the shores of Ireland the camera—incredibly—was found to be intact.
