Tuesday's story in the local paper gives a good balance to the story:

Not sure if these are similar to the site Shawn posted. I couldn't open
that one.  Anyway, a sad event and no one should be feeling smug. We all
do dumb things in life. Some get us killed. And if you non-Victorians
knew the extent to which kayaks are rented out in this town to untrained
paddlers, you would be amazed that more of these type of incidents have
not occured given our cold waters. Doug
