without setting out a fleet of no paddlers into insidious conditions,
may i say that i postulate that the relatively few sea kayaker deaths is due
in a large part to well designed boats. i think that kayaks are very
seaworthy so that with just a bit of common sense, death risks are greatly
reduced.

thanks for well designed boats,
bye bye bliven
