I’m traveling in a pod of four on the way from Manchester Harbor to Marblehead. It’s a fairly rough day (winds 15 knots to 20+ knots). At about 20% of the distance between Misery Island and Marblehead I decide that the remaining open-water crossing is too dangerous for the pod, especially since we will have to cross the ferry lane near Marblehead and the afternoon winds are steadily increasing. I make my concerns known. The other three paddlers disagree and the arguing continues. I can’t change their minds. So I tell them that I’m heading back to the shore along Beverly and they can follow me or not (note: I’m a very experience paddler and I could have easily paddled to Marblehead at almost twice the speed that the pod was going). The others eventually turn and follow me back. Near shore they complain that I broke the CAM rules by leaving the pod. By my own rules I’m in the right since I make my own risk assessments. But who’s right according to the CAM rules? -Leon
