My wife was learning to paddle last year. We were out in the middle of
the lake and my wife was having problems navigating through the current
and the wind so I was trying to move in to tie her on. A shell was
coming from about half way across the lake and heading toward us. I kept
yelling as they closed but the guy directing and the chase boat
(motorized) paid no attention. The skull came through and hit my wife
and kept right on going. When I confronted them at the dock later the
little asshole said something of the sort that "we have the right of
way" even though my wife was not in control of her vessel at the time.
"Besides" he said, "it's *our* lake". If there wasn't a cop in the
parking lot... Arrogant prick. The next week he cried like a baby when I
waked them with the Brockway.. Prissy little bitch, lucky I didn't swamp
'em... I hate guys who tie sweaters around their necks...



The skull? Do you mean the sculler?

If there wasn't a cop in the parking lot, what? What would you have
done? Assaulted someone? Is that your preferred way of settling
difference? Would you have snapped your doo rag at the guy? And a week
later, you "waked" a shell deliberately? You could have killed someone.

For a short little ****, you sure get yourself into a lot of altercations.
