Any one heard anything about such a kayak incident? This is quoted from longer a message on ba_diving list. I'm assuming someone thought they needed outside assistance or capsizing wouldn't be an item of note, since many of us practice doing it all the time and do it by accident once in a while . ********************** Hello all, thought I would let you all know about a debriefing that is happening following a tough year of losses and near losses in the Monterey Bay. It is not open to the public but the safety of the water sports here is getting attention in the form of a debriefing after an incident involving some 25-30 kayakers that capsized during high winds last month. Along with the loss of five divers and a record number of Hyperbaric chamber cases and Ocean Rescue calls several entities including the SUCH, Monterey Fire Department, Dive Charter operators, Kayak and Dive Store Managers are gathering to address issues that are of concern to all of us that come to use and or work in this profession. ---snipped--- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dave Flory, San Jose, CA. daflory_at_pacbell.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Speak softly and study Aikido, then you won't need a big stick. ©1999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- *************************************************************************** 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 Tue Nov 23 1999 - 11:13:36 PST
