The Soviets use a more dramatic turn hence the name. Peter Stow Hubbards (former submarine chaser} In a message dated 15/04/2010 5:19:52 P.M. Atlantic Daylight Time, Htoom@hfx.eastlink.ca writes: I've uploaded a mix of photos to my website; birds, flowers and Nova Scotia scenery. The photos of Mayflowers are all taken along Sandy Cove Road, our favourite walk, thanks to the diversity of birds, butterflies, wildflowers and orchids. Here's the part you don't want to hear but should nonetheless. There are Coyotes in this area! So if you walk this road carry your walking stick, whistle, screamers or bear spray. If you remember the movie, "The Hunt for Red October", you might recall the "Crazy Ivan" maneuver. This is the practise, at least according to the movie, where Soviet submarines suddenly reverse course to detect and deter American submarines from following close astern in the noisy wake of the Soviet sub where they may not be detected. So in Coyote country practise the "Crazy Ivan" maneuver and turn around periodically to check to see if your being stalked. There is probably no rural area in Nova Scotia that doesn't have Coyotes as a threat.
