RE: [Paddlewise] Not Enough Rescue Practice

I'm with you Steve,

I spent Saturday in Deception Pass with ten students and our backup was just
the skill and courage of the instructors.  Did I mention the instructors
were all handsome and witty and brave as well as being skillful and
courageous?  And smart.  Oh yeah and Humble, let's not forget humble.

Power Boat?  We don't need no stinkin' power boat!

Seriously, like you I'm out there to teach self reliance as much as anything
else, most people don't tour with a power boat back-up.

Cheers,
