Re: [Paddlewise] Hip Waders!! No lifejacket!!!

It actually looks like a mob rub-out gone awry.  The post-modern mob doesn't
have the patience to wait for the concrete shoes to set and dry, so they use
second-hand hip-waders from Goodwill (times are tough for the mob, too).  
Anyways, that's how we do it on the west coast. Best, Harvey

He was not wearing a life jacket.

thinking. I'm betting they were both kayak "fishermen" and just using their
kayaks to paddle to a more promising beach from which to do surf fishing.

This sort of thing won't go on too long... I hear that the world will end in
2012 for one reason or another. The details are pretty vague but the end
result seems pretty popular. I hope it's not by fire...  I already lost 4
kayaks in a fire.
