Yesterday, July 4th, the Tahrir chose to make a break for Gaza...In true Canadian fashion, two kayaks were procured from a local beach-side rental store, paddled across the bay, and stashed silently behind the Tahrir, out of sight of the coast guard and the numerous Greek special forces that now were stationed in the marina...At approximately 6:30pm, the Tahrir revved her engines...[and] at the last moment the two kayaks...blockaded the [coast guard].
