Just when I thought I was safe - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Thank you to all of you well wishers. I don't think this episode will change my methods or procedures when it comes to kayak fishing. Other than I'll be a little more careful eating while on the water. I find comfort in the probabilities game in these situations. Nothing like this has ever happened to me and at age 65, the odds of it happening again to me in my lifetime is very slim and incalculable. Back in the early 70s I had a job that required me to fly quite bit. I was once working in Huntsville Al. and finished my duties and was going to fly back to my office in Atlanta in the evening. I was at the airport and had my boarding pass when I was paged and asked to return to the job site. The plane that I was to board flew into a hail storm, crashed and killed all 86 souls on board. I am now the most relaxed flyer because of the probabilities of it ever happening again. Reminds me of a comedian that I once heard say that whenever he flies, he tries to smuggle a bomb aboard the plane because the odds of having two people with a bomb on the same plane cannot be calculated. I always like that reasoning.

Thanks again to y'all
