today
while surfing BC ferry wake into a reef off tiny Newcastle Island while
paddling with a company of timid environmentalists from the Georgia
Straight Alliance  - tenth anniversary celebration weekend - who
headed...

That should be the "Georgia _Strait_ Alliance", though this brings up an
amusing moment from the weekend. After the paddle and nature walks, etc,
of the weekend celebration were over, we all sat around in a
closing-circle and talked about the significance of the weekend and the
marine environment we are trying to save (we do weird things like that
here on Vancouver Island - the circle part, but we didn't hold hands).
Some gal got up on her hobby horse and went on about an irrelevant
lesbian gay pride parade happening in a few weeks.  As she does have
involvement with the GSA, she added "Oh yeah, I'll continue to fight for
the "Strait" too. She didn't realize what she said at the end juxtaposed
to her gay-pride speech, where upon we roared with laughter because  it
sounded like she was also going to advocate for the "straight". Guess
you had to be there.
