When you read episodes like this one has to reflect upon the "Survival of
the fittest" theory and leave him with the underlying assumption that the
world would be much better if dumb people weren't in the gene pool.

This is a perfect example of monkey see, monkey do.

Fortunately this didn't escalate, the group was very, very lucky nothing
worse happened.

Which could easily happen.

"In terms of the subject header, I was talking with a fellow Victoria
paddler  who was out with a small group on a semi-exposed day trip a week
or so ago....."

I wasn't able to post an account of the event that Doug described.  I did
however tell him of the events during an afternoon phone call when he
should have been working.

Doug got most of the story correct.  However the incident occurred at
Possession Point which juts out into Juan de Fuca Strait....
