   [1]This is not the best way to cope with the mind-numbing stretch
   between winter and spring break ..

     The lurid tale began on March 21, 2002, when Darwin paddled his red
     kayak into the North Sea in front of his seafront home in Seaton
     Carew, near Hartlepool. He never returned. An oar drifted ashore
     the next day, and after a fruitless search, the shattered remains
     of his vessel were found on a local beach six weeks later. Despite
     this evidence, suspicion lingered that there was something
     incongruous about an experienced kayaker drowning on a day when the
     sea was, in the words of one member of the rescue effort, "smooth
     as a millpond." Even before it emerged that the Darwins had
     reunited in Panama, his aunt, Margaret Burns, 80, told the Evening
     Standard newspaper, "To be honest I don't believe he ever got wet."
