Believe it or not but as I paddled along the waterfront of Steveston yesterday I was approached and cut off by a swan so I tried to re-route but was once again was cut off so after a couple more attempts to get by him with no success I backed paddled and this swan kept pace with me! So with a good size swan getting closer and closer to me ( and truly not knowing his intentions) I started to splash and yell at him but to no avail, so now I was running out of options ( while this is all happening I could just imagine the people on the shore having a great laugh) I decided I would have to use my air horn to get out of this. As I reached for my horn the swan caught up to my front of the kayak and all of a sudden took flight! WELL I have never thought I could lean back as far as I did!! This bloody thing would have taking my head right off my shoulders! The swan then landed about 20 feet behind and started circling towards me :roll: But by that time I was paddling with all my might :lol: as I was not going to stick around for round 2
