RE: [Paddlewise] the "bombproof" roll

Hi Scott and All,

That was very well said, and really sums up my philosophy as well.  I think
that your last sentence is worth repeating.

I try to emphasize in my courses that a good roll and a drysuit are not
license for stupidity.  Same goes for the VHF.  I have a real problem with
the "if I get in over my head I'll call for help attitude".

Cheers,

 "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary
safety deserve neither liberty nor safety"
