<<I have had some people question me when doing rolling practice but usually it only takes a few minutes for people watching to work out its practice. >> .. I was practicing rolling by myself close to shore where a lot of people stroll and fish. I noticed a couple of boys, about 10-11 yers old walking along. I rolled over and came back up with my head faceing them. I almost laughted out loud at the expression of horor on the face of one of the kids. He got control back and said to me, "Are you alright?" His tone was clearly VERY worried. I reassured them and showed them that it was really okay with a couple more rolls. They went away thinking it was "way kool." Joan Spinner >> I really scared my son that way a couple of years ago. He ran to my wife to report that Dad had flipped th eboat and needed rescuing. Informing the emergency services ahead of time may not be the only bit of communcation neccesary!! Ralph C.
