What are you guys doing :-) >>Dan Volker WPB, FL not everyone here is a kayaker, some of us canoe ;-) also, not all of us do day trips on the ocean. surf landing on the ocean has the potential to break lots of bones. paddling a river, a tree [strainers & sweepers] could get in the way. but more realisticly, a hike around camp, on wet rocks could cause a trip & fall. slip off of a glacier and fall to the ground. step out of a boat onto the shore, foot slides out from underneath you, and on, and on, and on... doesn't have to be IN the boat, but if the boat was how you got there, it's probably how you're getting out [except maybe flight for life] mark #------canoeist[at]netbox[dot]com-------------------------------------- mark zen o, o__ o_/| o_. po box 474 </ [\/ [\_| [\_\ ft. lupton, co 80621-0474 (`-/-------/----') (`----|-------\-') #~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~_at_~~~~~~~_at_~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~_at_~~~~~~~~_at_~~~~~ http://www.diac.com/~zen/cpr [Colorado Paddlers' Resource] http://www.diac.com/~zen/rmskc [Rocky Mtn Sea Kayak Club] http://www.diac.com/~zen/rmcc [Rocky Mtn Canoe Club Trip Page] http://www.diac.com/~zen/mark [personal] -- Fortune: The Zen master steps up to the hot dog cart and says " Make me one with everything" When the Zen master pays with a $20 bill the vendor puts the bill in the cash drawer and closes it.
