Re: [Paddlewise] Trapped by the tide

I would agree 100% with that.  What I thought was important was that the
article mentioned one of the men as being a former student of George's.  I
have taken a number of George's courses and I know that the subject of tides
is covered in explicit detail...including the problems and dangers of being
stranded, particularly in mud flats.  And I too have forgotten articles that
I would like to have along.  I once drove to the coast and found I had left
my spray skirt at home.

George's course has so much information that this stuff is coming at you in
a stream that is hard to remember all of it... so, I personally keep reading
reports like these, and keep rehearsing rescues and increasing my skills to
help me from making mistakes like this.  Yes, I'll bet these guys don't get
stranded again.
