[CKF Info] Rogue Otters

[Mark Sanders]

It was my pleasure to house a couple Rogue Otters who washed up on shore at
the Newport Coast Guard beach yesterday.
Jerry Sparks and Brett Tanner are the kind of people you feel you can call
friends after one night of gabbing around the kitchen table. The adventure
they embarked on in honor of their friend and to support the Vasculitis
Foundation is inspiring.

I think it's easy for those of us who've read the stories of other great
expeditions to take for granted one new trip, but when you hear the stories
first person, you realize cheating death is cheating death whether someone
has passed by that piece of coast before or not! It is even more impressive
that Jerry and Brett were mostly just recreational kayakers before deciding
to plan this trip in honor of their friend.

I wish them good paddling on the completion of their journey.

Mark
