>> Another question to ask is, how far from land to you have to be before its "open water"? Paddling just beyond the surf zone doesn't seem like "open water", but maybe it is? Also, what counts as proof? A video tape shooting a 360 degree pan with a few oil platforms and no beach in sight? Maybe a GPS track log? >> ************************************************************************** * I don't have the BCU definition with me, but I think it is at least one mile from land in any direction. As for proof, the BCU prefers a log book, but pictures also seem to be acceptable. Though I had some slides with me, our assessor accepted our word based merely on knowledgable conversation. For instructor candidates, I think a log book is mandatory.
