JohnnyD, don't forget the other "marine" mammal we saw out there. I guy in a 15-16' touring kayak chasing the right whales around and getting within just a few yards from them. I wonder if the 500 yard minimum distance applies to kayakers.
Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
