Maybe we need to organize rescue races, where the paddle can only be used for 
reentry but not propulsion, and the only time forward progress is allowed is 
while pushing down on the stern to empty the boat during the T rescue event. 
You're right, it's a shame we don't practice more often but it's so much d*mn 
work compared to a roll.

Jed (off to practice as the victim in assisted and self rescues now that the 
new drysuit has arrived. Shame that the water is so warm now......)
