Re: [Paddlewise] Re How would you deal with the following situation

    I have to agree with Dave.  I would find inaction dishonorable. It would 
be impossible to live with the scenario he descibed. Better death with honor. 
 Better still to wait until they are too weak to fight then keep them (and 
me) alive. And everyone can live to enjot another day.

out of the boat and push it to them. Will this make me another victim? Yeah 
maybe. But that would hurt a lot less then watching a father and son out 
for an afternoon sail or a couple of 10 year old kids who stole the family 
canoe disappear while I was sitting in a floating boat, blowing up my 
paddle float and trying to talk them into being calm. >>
