Hi Dave, what brought all this on anyway? Miss a roll this morning? My rolls are about as bomb proof as my speaking Spanish -- OK when I can think about it but don't run off a bunch of Spanish at me really fast and expect a quick reply. IOW, my roll is bomb proof when I'm set up and prepared for it but if I'm cloud gazing and a rogue wave rolls me I wouldn't bet on it. I'm just not at that stage where it's second nature and I'm not sure if I ever want it to be as I'll keep other options open in the self rescue arsenal. I kind of like the anxiety of knowing my roll is "bomb proof" within certain parameters but not within others. No, I don't count on it completely. Not, Nicolgiaqe! -Nick *************************************************************************** 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 Sun May 28 2000 - 07:01:20 PDT
