haahaha!! that's what I'm thinking. Not bad reasoning, at that.

I didn't even think of that coast guard thing. Well, it's only 1.4 miles and took him 47 minutes - maybe they were hanging around out there anyway?
People who ski in places they shouldn't be skiing piss me off for the same reasons, only add skiing dangers instead, and ski rescue people.
DavidMn - The sharks is what I was talking about when I said "red triangle" in my first post. That is what the area David described is called, only I think it goes out to Hawaii, (or something) as well, because what he described doesn't make a triangle.
