Hi Rev., Thursday, November 6, 2003, 6:30:37 PM, you wrote: > I righted myself with a dorsal fin assisted roll and ... Now *that's* more like it Rev. Bob! :-) By the way...thanks for your reply to my other post. The times I have encountered bears, I did talk to them. Usually, starting with a _very_ polite "hello". I'm also aware of making bits of noise as I walk in the woods, but I do have to remind myself to make such noises, as I just love so much the noises of the forest, I find myself being as quiet as possible. The next book in my "read me" pile is Stephen Herrero's "Bear Attacks; their causes and avoidance". My current read is Dr. Fridtjof Nansen's "Eskimo Life". I've just started this one, and it's quite nice. Thanks again for giving us the "real" story of your adventure. :-) -- Melissa *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
