I NEED A COAST TRIP BAD!!!

  Today I got called in to sub (teach) at a Community Day School. For those that don't know of them, a school that consists of kids from public schools throughout the city that have been expelled from their "regular" school for a wide range of offenses. These kids (ages 6-12) are defiant, disruptive, abusive, foul mouthed, and probably unloved, well you get the picture.

 Anyway, beside the usual difficulties of a class like this, today was a b!Tch  I had to call the police in on a kid that assaulted a female Teachers Aide by hitting, kicking, spitting and telling her to F_ ck Off Bit_h! Then 10 min. before the end of the school day, 2 boys break out in a fight, I step between them to break it up and one of the little blankety blanks kicks me in the shin and runs out of the room, over a seven foot chain link fence to freedom from the school grounds. I chased him to the fence while telling him to stop the whole way, but the punk got over the fence before I could grab him. I told the teachers aide to notify the office, call his guardian, and to watch the class the remaining 5 minutes before dismissal. Then I ran to my truck to tail the fugitive while the office notified the authorities and his guardian , who turned out to be his grandma, while I stayed in touch with the office using walkie talkies.

 When I caught up with the kid he was still running approx 3/4 mile from school, I called out to him to stop but he kept going, so I just tailed him for about 1/2 hour at which time his grandma catches up with me and tries to get him in her vehicle. The kid doesn't even stop for grandma! grandma tries for about 10 more minutes before he gets himself cornered in a cul de sac about 3 miles from prison/school. Out of breath, probably exhausted and now trapped, the kid sits down and starts crying. Grandma comforts the kid, calms him down and takes him home.

 I return to the school, verbally report to the principal, write an incident report, and a summary of the day for the regular teacher. The grandma calls the school to thank me, I tell her "no problem, just another day in a teachers life". By the time I get out of there it's 4:00 (2:30 usually) and I need a DRINK, I rush home pour a margarita, and start to vent to my yak fishin brothers! (sorry Bros.) Now I ask you, did I earn my 100 bucks today?
Can you see why I need some Coastal Therapy? I don't know if I can wait 50 days!
  Tight lines all,

Ouch, Tad, that sounds like a rough day.  Just like running 5 miles or something though, it's oh so good when it's over!!  Hang in there, Bro - your karma payoff will be worth it.   

Check this out!  So I went into Pro Sport Center in Eureka and met Greg/spedrcr today.  Totally cool that you got us 15% off on yak gear purchases, Dude - thanks!  I think it's noteworthy that not only do we have people coming out of the woodwork to come on this trip, but Greg's actually got an ad up in his store for it!  This is getting serious.   

Nice!!!!  Where is the Pro Sport Center at?  I will definately have to check it out!  It looks like they have a nice kayak selection.

Where is the Pro Sport Center at?

North end of Eureka along the 101 corridor.  Greg's bringing some yaks to the Cove and hopes to have a Hobie as well as WS and OK gear.  He's got a nice setup there at PSC and runs the bike shop as well as the yaks.

I started the count down about 3 months prior to my Alaska Kayaking trrip last year
