I agree if you're talking about whitewater paddling, but there have been
times when sea-kayaking that I have thought that it would be handy to
have a paddle leash tethered _to the kayak_ (not to me!).  It would make
rest stops handier and might even make it easier to keep things together
in the (hopefully unlikely) event of a capsize.  I've just been too lazy
to do anything about it, so I too am interested in paddle leash thoughts
from the rest of the list.
