Not having Anton's tact I won't compare my kayaking to Andrew's or these magnificent two who aren't due til 12 January suffice to say I'm saddened how few people get off our coasts in kayaks.
Low risk is fine by me sometimes. For example J. Kyle Bass had balls describing shorting Quick Loan Funding as a "...once-in-a-lifetime, low-risk, incredibly high-reward scenario...". More great holiday reading from the NZHerald. Must get that Prof Fabozzi book.
