SNIP: It could be a bit embarrassing being seen sitting in your kayak on top
of a car in front of a motel using a hand pump!

Alas, I wasn't there to witness the event myself, but I heard of two guys
leaving a camping, one driving while the other was sitting on top of the
car, in his kayak, paddling, steering and bracing in the air, following the
movements of the car. Although he was wearing a wetsuit, sprayskirt, PFD and
helmet, the police considered the situation "unsafe" and ordered him down. A
footpump and some water would have added greatly to the show.
