I picked up a copy of "Adventure Kayak Magazine" at Canoecopia this weekend. In the Eastern "Local Currents" it had the following note. "Sadly, Shawn Asling, a Nova Scotia kayaker, died last summer when his boat was trapped under a railway trestle bridge as he was leaving Porter's Lake for the ocean. A strong current bent the kayak around the bridge pillar pinning Mr. Aisling in his boat." I have never heard of a sea kayak wrapping. Is this a freak accident, or something to really worry about? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I don't give a damn for a man who can spell a word only one way.
