Some time back someone here told us members about a young guy on a jetski mobbing paddlers - Could someone refresh my memory, and tell us what happened next?

No one was hurt although at least one kayak had to be taken to shore (where they were headed when the jetski started harassing them) for re-entry. They got the registration numbers on the jetski and found it and the operator and arrested him. I don't know what happened after that and I can't find references on Google. But, just for some information, I did find quite a few references to capsized kayakers being rescued by jetski operators.

[Please remove all old content that is not pertinent to your reply including old headers and footers. It's list policy.... this post was modified to meet policy] IIRC, the report came from Wes Kantmemberizlasname [ moderator - Wes Boyd was the person involved ]. He had a site--now defunct--that was a great info center for big boy and girl kayakers. Craig has the basics of the incident correct. As I recall, the water was very cold and hypothermia was a concern. Steve Craig Jungers wrote: > On Thu, Jan 22, 2009 at 6:25 AM, Tord S.
