The new PWC?

I was down in Mystic yesterday and as is my custom, I head down to the
Mystic River bridge while the wife and relatives visit to watch the
clown show.

I have, quite arbitrarily and completely unfairly, decided that
kayaks, their owners, renters and users, are the new PWC.

If I had a dime for every kayak that did something dangerous, as in
turn in front of a boat, get caught in a eddy and slam into the bridge
pilings, etc., I'd have about two bucks more than I have now, but
still.

So, there you have it - kayaks are the new PWC.


Same as the shells that some row early in the morning on SF Bay. Last year,
almost ran over one. Light fog, and the guy is in a while shell, wearing
white shirt and shorts. Death Wish?

Nope, rarely get up to WC for dinner, unless at friends. Being both Crosby
and DiMaggio being locals. The DiMaggio boys were always getting busted for
netting stripers for their restaurant in Jack London Sq., Oakland. To put
in on topic for rec.boats.

Wife said she has eaten there. Great desserts, and the bathrooms are like
old movie star dressing rooms. Really unique and outstanding desserts.

One of my personally favorite funny moments on Lake Union in Seattle- I
watched one of the motorized "coaching" boats tear off across the lake
to yell (through a battery operated bullhorn) at some poor slob making
a wake that they thought was higher than their rowers should have to
deal with. Funny this was, at "pursuit speed" the coaching boat was
making a lot bigger wake than the supposed offender. :-)
