Saturday in the Door

It's been a good event all the way around up here in Door County. As always, the Rutabaga people do not go in for near misses and half measures. Everyone seems like they are having a good time and the paddling weather has been stepping up to the plate. I can't say the same for the night time weather though. As the sun goes down, the rain falls. I think it has something to do with me setting out my paddling clothes to dry and the elements not wanting that to happen.



Honestly, the only unusual event to note was the unexpected attack in front of registration. Seem that in a fit of desperation, P&H and Werner's own Ben Lawry lost his temper during a gear conversation. In the actions that followed, Ben punched Steve Sheerer to the ground and forced Cindy Sheerer to become a living billboard for Werner paddles while he and wife, Elizabeth laughed and mocked. While it was a horrible display of unruly behavior, you can't help but respect Ben's convictions to his believes.
