	Indeed I do.  A pair of swim fins are permanent safety items attached to
the rear deck of my Klepper.  I regard them as vital in negotiating surf
zones.  Swimming a boat in is a viable alternative... depending on the
climate!

September average sea surface temperatures, Melbourne 13.1, Sydney 17.9
(Celsius).
Trade the swim fins for a wet suit and hood down here, at this time of year.
Anyone know a website(s) with sea surface temperatures for Canada, USA, UK?

I'll be there all three days.  On Saturday morning I'll be helping Ken and
Kathea Rasmussen teach the "Cockpit Outfitting" class.  I have 15 minutes of
the class to cover custom knee braces. I'll be showing a 10 minute video on
carving foam knee braces and we'll have samples to look at plus several
outfitted kayaks on display.  Ken and Kathea will teach custom hip pads and
seats.  Saturday afternoon we will do a workshop for those who would like to
buy some foam from Ken and get started on custom outfitting their kayak.

On Friday and Sunday I'll spend most of my time at the beach paddling kayaks
or shooting video.  Look for the guy with the digital video camera with a 16
inch shotgun microphone mounted to the left side.  Also, if you see a guy in
a red Kokatat dry suit in the water with a video camera in a dive housing
that will be me.  If Paddlewisers are getting together somewhere I'd try to
make it. My favorite part of the WCSKS is getting together with old friends
and making a few more new friends each year.

Thanks Arthur.

So sea surface temperatures, from satellite sensing, can be obtained at:
USA, Canada: http://www.nws.fsu.edu/buoy/"
UK: http://www.meto.govt.uk/sec5/NWP/SISG/sstm.html
Australia: http://www.aodc.gov.au/Information/SSTdata/SST.html
