The efforts to repair the kayak of Alberto De Jesus (Tito Kayak ), have concluded on the island of San Vicente in the Antilles. Following a test yesterday evening Tito expressed his satisfaction with the skills and craftsmanship  with which the cetaceo type kayak was repaired and reinforced. This latest chapter followed the the battering and abuse the kayak sustained  by the merciless,  pounding waves and strong cross currents in the Caribbean and Atlantic oceans in recent days. Tito is anxious to renew the kayaking feat which he initiated in Venezuela and with Puerto Rico as its destination, bringing world attention to the quest to win the release of Puerto Rican political prisoner Oscar Lopez Rivera. Weather, oceanic conditions and the conclusion of logistical arrangements  permitting, Tito will begin rowing north from St George along the Caribbean coast to the northern end of St Vincent island nation the next day. The National Boricua Human Rights Network has raised over $400 for Tito and will be sending it by the beginning of next week.
