Matt Broze cantankerous?  Perish the thought!  :-)

Actually this post heartens me to brave the scorn of know-it-all
paddlers and wear my sprayskirt over my PFD on warm days in relatively
calm situations as a way of keeping cooler.

Perhaps all PaddleWisers should wear their sprayskirts that way as an
identification sign to fellow subscribers.  Of course, real PaddleWise
paddlers are too expert to wear nylon skirts and there is no way they
can get their tight neoprene skirt tunnels over their PFDs.
