Thanks for the link. Lotta good info in the article. A very fortunate guy. By the article, he did not have a roll, which seems a little unusual for surf kayaking. Without more detail, it's hard to tell what really happened. Seems his reentry did not work. OTOH, he had good immersion clothing. 15 hours on a buoy! I wonder if I could last that long. What happened to him could happen to me. I'm glad he is alive. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Fri Nov 05 1999 - 16:06:08 PST
