One kayak-mounted EMP generator. Probably need some big batteries.

: I'll start this by saying wow! Those are some very beautiful boats, I have
: been torn between building a pair of Turns or a set of strip boats this
: winter and unless someone can produce even more outstanding examples I may
: be won over.

: However, this thread just reminded me of a bad moment, and right in the
: middle of looking at those beautiful boats too. Last weekend I took my 3
: year old son out for a day of paddeling on the Snohomish in Washington.
: Slidding through the water and sunlight we eventually came to the town of
: Snahomish where a trio of over powered, high-performance stink-sleds
: crashed up and down a stretch of water between two bends. The thing that
: made this impossible situation undeniably vial was the fact that we were
: tossed by those clowns. The river, not to wide, magnified the boat wake
: and after hitting the banks of the rock shore came hurling back creating a
: unpredictable, oily set of hay stacks. We were broadsided and tipped.
: Everone dried out ok, and for somereason my son still thinks the smell
: those things make is "funny but nice," but it was a good thing I
: wasn't loaded for duck or even fly fishing (just kidding when I'm in a
: boat I don't seem to have any more time available for anything but that
: simple, pure movement).

: I'm still hot under the coller from that one and am wondering if there is a
: better way to monkey wrench those nefarious contraptions than to wait for
: the onset of cold!
