Here's a for instance of why you should never paddle your kayak in the outdoors. We were tripping along the banks of the Columbia when a gaggle of tiny Canadian geese bonded to the back of my kayak. The armada of little honkers wouldn't detach from our flotilla. This is totally unacceptable, and the things they do to the Sunday Oregonian newspaper are completely unmentionable, if perhaps appropriate. Plus they bully the cats. So unless you want this to happen to you, I would stay off the water and out of nature's nursery. P.S. Seakayaks make wonderful planter boxes!

> is totally unacceptable, and the things they do to the Sunday > Oregonian newspaper are completely unmentionable, if perhaps > We had a heat wave (90 degrees in March) in New England a couple of weeks ago and I headed for a local bay. I heard a gawdawful racket off in the distance and figured there must be a gazillion Canadian geese over there somewhere. After a while, 2-300 of honkers took off and headed right for me, forming really long formations. I had visions of becoming engulfed in a ton of rear end emissions but fortunately they swerved away. That was only about half of the geese. I finally came across another couple of hundred of them hogging an entire section of the bay. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************
