Yeah, the other way - Victoria to Washington State, across Haro the cops
figure). They obviously got into trouble somewhere. There was a big ebb, so
perhaps the two washed south during their crossing, then met further
difficulty near Ten Mile Point. The police have arrested the one American
(from San Fran.), and are looking for the other. It was definitely
high-quality, genuine BC bud, hyroponically grown, probably on the Saanich
Peninsula to the north. In Canada, we have always exported most of our
highest quality raw materials - you know Rob.

I was going to drop by the jail after work to check out directly what
transpired (navigation wise), but would immediately raise suspicion with the
authorities I'm sure, and then I'd possibly be tarnished for future Haro
Strait crossing, though I could probably make a good second career out of
it, night paddling in storms, when no one would be on the lookout for
paddlers.

I just picked up a NightRider Extreme helmet-mount  lighting system, so once
I heal up, I have a date with the next night storm. Something to look
forward to.
