Regarding Audrey Sutherland

>>When asked if she capsized during one of her 650 mile solo paddles
down the Alaskan coast she said that she did, once, and was back in here
boat  (a 12'  inflatable) in 23 seconds.<<

How did she know!?

...God bless her, she sounds like she has considerably more guts and
talent than I do. But if I were ever to capsize in Alaskan waters
(unlikely, so far in my career), the last thing on my mind would be
timing my self-rescue.
