I'm truly sorry you didn't like it MC... was it the lack of compassion or
lack of gun play that was the deciding factor?

We

He's

sling

| doughnut around my boat. No Way! says I! No friggin' way will a tree
huggin'
| kayaker doughnut my boat. He says there isn't much I can do about it and
| proceeds to paddle to my bow to cross. I trim in in the sails just as
he's
| across the bow and surge ahead! I hit him just aft of the kayak cockpit
and
| the back end of his kayak goes down hard.... his bow is pointing to the
sky
| when the kayak's buoyancy takes over and shoots him out of the water
like a
| friggin missile!! He lands with his bow down and flips. We were all in
tears
| of laughter watching him struggle to attempt an Eskimo roll. He finally
| bailed and we came about and pulled him out of the water! When he asked
why
| I ran him over I pointed to _his_boss who was aboard and said... just
| following orders! I got him dried off and refreshed his beer. No crying
no
| wailing no sooky, sooky nonsense.
|
| I wonder how many of your girly COLREGS I broke that time! Ha Ha Ha Ha!
