Spray was getting all over the hunters. They had their hoods pulled over their faces to keep the freezing spray off. When they landed, one of them got out of the boat and recognized me. He saw that I was on my bike and he said "you got to be crazy to be out riding on a day like this." I just shook my head and left.
