[Paddlewise] are you using sea socks???

Not an argument because I have very little experience with sea socks but I 
was not impressed. I blew a roll in a boat with one and thought a reenter and 
roll would be the key. Well, have you ever tried to find the pegs in a wet, 
floating sea sock? I had to swim the boat to shore because I was just not 
able to get the thing straightened out enough to get back in the boat.
    My other experience was similar but more frightening. I got my legs 
tangled as I tried a wet exit from an upside down boat. Maybe I'm just the 
wrong shape for them. Neither of the boats were mine and one was a bit small 
for me but still...
