     Yes, there definitely was an intricate web of life occuring on that
   island in the Broken Group. Tourists hunting whales and kayakers, kayakers
   hunting critters, critters hunting smaller critters. It was definitely a
   happening place. I got the feeling the sea lions could have turned us into
   sushi or sashimi had they been so inclined (not sure what the correct
   Japanese word for raw sliced kayaker would be, perhaps easyriderushi?).
   The water in our little bay was the color of tomato soup...is that a bad
   sign? We avoided eating oysters or selling them to tourists.
