In Response To: When good paddlers do bad things . . . . *Pic* (Jed)

As a sea kayak newbie I must defend my actions here. I just don't know any better. ;-) I'm starting a 2000+ "river" trip across western Canada cuz I live on the prairies. Honest, if I had an ocean of water nearby I would be thrilled to use it. Alack! All I got here is a dry dusty prairie skirting a silty old river. The good news is that the river dumps into Hudson bay. :-) I find some consolation in that. So I will proudly go where only flat river boats have gone before with my head held high and my paddle a thrashin' knowing that one day I will come into my own.

: How sad it is to see once proud and adventurous sea kayakers resort to
: comandeering the local swift water river just to get their tidal current
: fix. Don't these guys realize that you need special (short) boats to play
: in the rivers? It's just so sad, so truly sad. I can see it now,
: shortboaters will rise up against the longboaters. There will be chaos on
: the rivers. Isn't there a law against this kind of behavior?
