Just keep in mind that the laws of physics (i.e. the law of mass tonnage) are higher laws than human law (i.e. that "human powered" vessels have right of way). Thus if you find yourself in front of a freighter that you cannot get out of the way of, it should be of great comfort for you to know that it is the freighter's fault. This is what is known as being "dead right". Larry Snow ------- Forwarded Message Follows ------- Mr. Coplan, vessels operated by oars or paddles always have the right of way. It would be extremely difficult to move a "human powered" vessel out of the way of a speeding vessel. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Wed Jun 09 1999 - 09:38:59 PDT
