If you get bored you could do like some jet skiers I've observed. You could run down ducklings, or maybe find a group of slow moving kayaks to use as slalom gates. Or maybe if only one kayaker is available you could run straight at them and then turn at the last second and blast them with spray. Or you could find a narrow estuary and race up and around its blind corners as fast as you can. Don't worry, the kayakers that might be in there can hear you coming and will scramble to the inside bank to get out of your way as fast as they can. The bolo is three weights on the end of three striings tied in the center. You hold one weight and swing the other two around yourself, letting go when the two weights are headed for your target. The weights spread out into a circle once you let go and when something is contacted by one of the strings the weights wrap the strings up around the object (and tighten the curve of the weights speeding them up and likely clobbering the object/target as they reach maximum speed). This would probably work better on a water skier buzzing you than a jet ski but then you would likely have to deal with his friends in the high horsepower powerboat. So back to the pop-up deck mounted .50 caliber. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
