Kayaks: Work best when not hammered.Last night, two Bainbridge Island men were drinking and watching the Texas-Alabama game when one of them was struck with a brilliant idea: Let’s kayak to Seattle! Ignore for a moment, dear reader, that paddelling for miles across a busy shipping port in the middle of the night is profoundly stupid. This is the logic of the drunk man. We should not question it. Just sit back and admire what it has wrought.Anyway, at some point around 2 A.M. one of our intrepid moonlight cruisers tipped over. His buddy, who was actually smart enough to bring a cell phone, frantically called 911. And within an hour, both were in the capable arms of Seattle fire and rescue, with only a little hypothermia to show for their efforts.
