Never mind sea lions, swans can be very aggressive. We paddled past two adults and some swanlings (cygnets?) in Stockholm harbor a couple of weeks ago and Mama Swan (or maybe Daddy; I'm not good at sexing swans) peeled off and followed us until we were well out of range. Meg was kinda freaked. She expected to be boarded and wing-beat. Which can hurt. -- Steve Cramer Athens, GA *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
