RE: [Paddlewise] SOTs uber Alles

Dan

Somehow, I'm picturing this guy floating on his back trying
to accomplish the task at hand like some sort of sea lion
cracking open a shell on his belly. (attempt at humor).

If the Coast Guard sees this, having an approved PFD is
not going to be your biggest problem.  (Additional really
funny humor attempt)

Leave the bottle secured under a deck bungie since if you
open it under water it's going to fill up anyway and you won't 
be the filler, hop off the boat, have the paddle in one hand 
and the boat in the other and let 'er rip.  Happens in the 
pool all the time.

I suspect this is the method Ralph was suggesting.

Well, that certainly would be a detriment.  BUT, since it is so easy to
hop on and off an SOT as opposed to being in a SINK (a Sit-INside-Kayak,
that's what I understand SOT elite paddlers call a closed kayak), you
can discretely take care of such needs in the water.

Next question!

Ralph, here is the next question.

Ok, I've hopped off my SOT and am now floating in water up to my neck.  One
hand is holding the bottle, errrrr, the other hand is holding the bottle
"filler", which hand is holding my paddle and boat?

Thank you for your enlightened reply.  8-)
