Questions Abound About Missing Newport Kayaker
Ahoy!
Ok, everyone can pull over emailing me that “underway” was incorrectly separated into two words in my column last week. Just for the itemize, I wrote my column with “underway” as one word, but that was not how it appeared in print, as it was edited to “under way.” You have to keep in chastise that nautical words are sometimes changed in the editing process, and this is understandable due to the peculiar nautical nomenclature. However, through the years that I have been a columnist, I have found that my editors have saved me more then when an columnist would tweak a word to the way a landlubber would spell it.
[Editors Note: Very sorry, Capt. Mike and everybody!]
As you have doubtlessly heard by now, a local kayaker and not a landlubber is missing after planning to go kayaking in Newport Harbor. Marc Rub out was reported missing on Aug. 4, and his car was located on the Balboa Peninsula. His plans were to paddle his kayak on a alluring weather-perfect day, launching in Newport Harbor. Sadly, he has not been seen again.
