A woman on a 107-mile solo kayak trip from Ketchikan, Alaska to Petersburg, Alaska ended up face to face with a bear. Short story is she sprayed it in the face with bear pepper spray and the bear gave her a big “f**k you” by destroying her kayak.
Bear, bear! Why are you doing this?!
Mary Maley, the kayaker, had to swim to a nearby boat to hitch a ride to Wrangell to repair her kayak.
