NYCkayaker capsized kayaker

[David Gottlieb]

Sandy - Ha ha--- I didn't really save the lawyer. Just called the fire
department and I had already shut off the main electrical systems in the
office. It turned out to be an electric overload... Lots of smoke and water
damage form the sprinkler system... Just was being melodramatic.. Don't know
if I have ever "saved" anyone. Just helped them out when they were in
trouble. But you are correct. What was I thinking!!!!!!! I should of just
let the damn office burn down, lawyer and all!!! On the other hand, I was
saved once  by the Coast Guard in the Atlantic off Cape Cod when one pontoon
of the catamaran I was sailing filled up with water and the cat went over...
but that's another story.

As far as rewriting the capsize story, I think the pot smokers were actually
the kayakers.... Note that the author of the "story" stated that she was
offered a joint;  she never stated she turned down the request. I think a
lot of things are fishy in this capsize story....
