Title: Re: Lake Superior Post by Jim J Solo on Aug 16th, 2013 at 1:41pm
Maybe here's where I can replay a incounter that troubled me. I was sitting in on a Canoecopia session about Lake Superior. The speaker was telling of a tandem kayak that needed rescued after attempting an 11 mile crossing to an island. It happened that the couple was in the hall. The thing that got me was that they seemed proud of what happened and spoke with authority,,,,it was their 15 mins of fame. It had taken 3 hours to find them and if they hadn't been as heavy as they were they probably wouldn't be here. No humility at all and he kept interjecting comments during the talk as if he were the speaker. When he finally added with absolute authority that you couldn't bring Bear Spray into Canada I had to say "Yes You Can".
I think this guys going to tempt fate again. The attention he got far out weighted anything else about his experience. |
