Thanks for this little vignette, Melissa. I'm so happy you survived what is
so obviously a deadly encounter between a sea kayak and the sea. That
particular paddle is not to be taken lightly anyway.

Interesting that you are paddling in an area that has some significance for
my family. My wife's mother is a member of both the Quinault and Chinook
tribes and my wife is due to get her membership in the Quinault sometime
"soon". I hope I'll have my own "guide".

Thanks again... nicely done. :)
