THANKS FOR THE WARNING, RICH. I WENT TO THE LIBRARY AND FOUND A LITTLE KNOWN BOOK OF CANYPSIE HISTORY. IT SEEMS THAT SINCE CANYPSIES ARE FOUND ALL OVER THE WORLD, THEY ALL USE GREENWICH MEAN TIME. THAT MEANS THAT ON FRIDAY THE 12th DURING OUR PADDLE IT WILL BE THE 13th FOR THE CANYPSIES. THEREFORE THE POSSIBLITY EXISTS FOR US TO ENCOUNTER SOME ON LAKE MILTON. ANOTHER LITTLE KNOWN PIECE OF ADVICE WAS FOUND BY ME IN THE SAME CANYPSIE HISTORY BOOK, THAT SUGGESTS THAT CANYPSIES MAY BE REPEALED BY THE AROMA OF CHARCOAL GRILLED HOTDOGS AND HAMBURGERS...SO WE WILL ALL BE SAFE ON LAND AS WE EAT. THAT SAFETY DOES NOT EXTEND TO THE WATER, WHERE CANYPSIES ARE MOST COMFORTABLE, SO EVERYONE WHO CHOOSES TO GO OUT ON THE WATER DOES SO AT THEIR OWN RISK. P.S. WEARING GARLIC OR GLOW STICKS WILL NOT REPEL CANYPSIES. GOOD LUCK TO ALL BRAVE KAYAK PADDLERS AS CANYPSIES WILL NOT ACCOST T-GRIPPERS.
