At the risk of falling >to the sin of self-justification, clearly the point was to 'test the waters', a Sometimes I think we tend to be a little too critical around here, to pick apart other's viewpoints or actions for the sake of picking them apart. The bottom line to this story is that had Chris not explored the rip, he might not have been aware of the potential dangers to be paying attention to the swimmers. He was prepared and equipped to deal with it, and did adequately. Then, when trouble broke loose, he moved quickly, used his head, and the equipment he had available -- and did the right thing. Good going, Chris. A cyber-pat on the back to you. -- Wes *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Thu Aug 12 1999 - 05:13:27 PDT
