Ahhh, NOT!  Something wasn't right, and as I got really, really close, I
realized what it was.  I was sneaking up on about 30 or so decoys that
someone had left in the water.  Or, maybe they hadn't left them.  Maybe
they were in their hiding spot trying not to laugh too loud!  Either
way, I looked around and then sheepishly left.>

LOL-- Ive been there and done that. That is almost as bad a dumping during lauch 
in front of a bunch of power boaters!!

Even worse is being out for a long paddle, zipping into shore in front of a 
bunch of people, pulling up parallel with a nice low or high brace turn, 
popping the skirt, stepping out and falling over because you're legs have 
gone to sleep.
