U.S. built kayaks have a built-in dry storage area for them. (Sea water is rough on the finish) Hunting jetskiers is legal only during certain periods of the year and you have to have a permit. A friend of mine was recently fined while hunting even though he had a permit and was in the right season. Seems the Coast Guard thought his half-naked girlfriend was baiting the jetskiers in close.

> Does everybody in the U.S carry firearms??? > Even when jetskiing???? or seakayaking?????????????????? someone might be able to reach this conclusion from some Holywood movies. a buddy from Belguim who was on sebatical on the East Coast of the US took a cross country trip and he made sure to visit Holywood so that his kids could see the difference between film and reality. i've only seen guns on the water by folks who were hunting. duck and goose hunting around the Chesapeake bay is common. one cold winter day, a small row boat without much freeboard due to its 3 heavy passangers passed me as i went upstream in a very isolated swamp. it was on a tight bend and they did not have much control due to the fast flowing water. i made sure to yield way as i looked down the barrels of some mighty large shot guns. thank goodness in this region, gun slingers are not a big part of water activities... i've seen a few James Bond movies too. thrilling cu bliven *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************
Pontus, >A question from "innocent Sweden": Does everybody in the U.S carry >firearms??? Even when jetskiing???? or seakayaking?????????????????? Nope not all of us. Some do when going into human country, others do when going into bear country. Real paranoids do all the time. I've never owned or even shot a gun in my life. Don't ever plan to. I paddle in bear country fairly often. Sometimes in human country, but I'm more careful there than in bear country, have to admit.

Besides I thought all kayakers carried them. Why wouldn't you?
