Sad ending to an adventure-especially for someone so young-the real Vikings were good at observing the sea and weather without modern means-we are not and probably should require safety classes and better precautions to avoid injury and death before setting off to recreate a bit of history. Some of the comments here are really inappropriate-do these people have a stand-up routine for funerals, too?
Ideally, cremation on a offerings-laden longboat.
