Ken, you said: Jetski's don't kill kayakers, Jetski riders do. Sorry :-P Just had to say it after reading Ellis' comment about thinking about the "person" on the machine instead of what they were doing and Perry's packin' heat... (I agree with you, Ellis, in holding the higher moral ground by not letting Doug shoot the PWC guy with the flare, which all of us know he'd have done faster than Perry could have gotten his 38 out of the drybag: "You know, your honor, I shot my flare into the sky, where it landed I know not why..."). <snip> Ken, Not that it really matters, but I just wanted to say that you can't attribute me with having said anything about shooting a flare at a pesty PWC operator. I did say in a recent post that one should shoot a flare off as a precautionary, proactive maneuver. And I specifically added "not at the jetskier". Just wanted to clarify. And just a reminder, kayaks don't kill kayakers, though some kayakers kill kayaks. 8-) DL *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
