I just read "Deep Trouble". What a great book! I noticed that many of the accidents turned desparate when the kayak and/or paddle floated away from the paddler. This was especially the case when a solo paddler got into trouble. Most of my paddling is done solo, so I want to figure out how to correctly tether myself to my paddle and my boat. The trick is to setup the tethering so I won't notice it under normal conditions (i.e. it has to be comfortable and out of the way) and so I can untether rapidly should saftey require me to do so. What do the seasoned paddlers on this mail-list do about tethering? I've never actually seen anyone do it. --Tim *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Tue Mar 24 1998 - 08:13:31 PST
