I think we are taking the wrong approach here...instead of putting lead ballast in the boat, lets put it in the paddles. I'm sure your all aware of taking a couple of forks and sticking them in a cork with a pin in the bottom...by dropping the GG, the cork appears to balance on the pin... If we added 40 or 50 lbs of lead to each paddle, when conditions get rough, just drop those paddles below the waterline, hang on tight and Ta Da! Instant stability..... Think of those great muscles you'll be building up with those lead paddles.....throw away that paddle float but make sure you have a good tether! cya Bob Denton Vice President Undersea Breathing Systems bob_at_dnax.com http://www.dnax.com *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net ***************************************************************************Received on Mon Feb 16 1998 - 07:32:50 PST
