RE: [Paddlewise] Drogues and Separation from Kayak

Yes it was the Amaruk.  I suggested that my wife try the same stunt and she
looked at me like I was a crazed motor-head --- not exactly the look you
want to get from your soul-mate.

By the way, I am a rolling fanatic and do it for fun whenever I paddle in
clean water.   But I make no claims of special proficency in rolling.   I'm
convinced that any competant roller could roll the Amaruk --- it was that
easy.  I'm looking forward to getting in other double and seeing if this is
more broadly the case.
