RE: [Paddlewise] FW: FW: Envisioning the Future of Coastal Management

So what happened? Even if it was private land I think that the "Any port in
a storm" ethic should have applied in your case.

       I won't try to refute or agree with what Matt said, since I have 
never researched
  this topic and do not live in Washington. But I will relate an incident 
when a group
  of us form the Portland, Oregon area were paddling near Boston Harbor in 
Puget
  Sound, and were getting pounded by some nasty opposing tidal flows, 
surges, and wind.
  Our group was of mixed abilities, and we sought refuge on a nearby beach.
  Upon landing, a person came running down to the water's edge, yelling and
  screaming, demanding that we re-enter the maelstrom immediately and die. I

will never
  forget that day.
