Maybe, after 50 years of surfing, you get a better perspective on things. I'm not sure I'd stay in the water for another hour after having a tiger shark take a bite out of my surfboard though. I wonder if they'd like kayaks with that soft, creamy filling inside the crunchy outside. Not shark related but there are some biologists who claim that Orcas (Killer Whales) come in two different species: homebodies and itinerant bullies. The homebodies stick around an area, eat mostly salmon, and ignore kayakers. The itinerant bullies eat mostly seals and other whales. There is almost no contact between the two (so they say). I'm thinking that I might want to only paddle around the salmon-eaters. We should make the bullies carry warning signs. :D Craig On Wed, Apr 28, 2010 at 10:39 AM, James Farrelly <jfarrelly5_at_comcast.net>wrote: > Well, they do paddle.
