Sunday a bunch of us went down to the sea to play in the waves.  A TV crew
showed up to do a story on some wildlife laying around in the ditch.  What
some will do to get on TV. Just at the end of the feature they panned across
the road and focused on the kayakers out in the waves.  Ten seconds for us and
minutes for the elephant seal in the ditch.  Jeeze it's no wonder the media
has such a bad rep.

Here's the link.

Go to the link and click on CHEK News Jan 4. As it loads go get a coffee when
you get back drag the play button to about o9:31.  Unless of course you want
to watch the entire news cast.

PS I'm the good looking kayaker with the yellow helmet.

I can assure you there are worst ways to get yourself and kayak in the 
news...

Molting, huh? A likely story. Clearly a cover-up. I can imagine trying that
on my wife after waking up in a ditch on Sunday morning; "No, really dear...
I'm... uh.... um.... molting... that's it! I'm molting."
