The article said "Monday, who often sailed with the two men, said Gould and his brother had only started kayaking over the past year." I don't know of many "experienced" kayakers that have developed the necessary skills (such as rolling) and knowledge in that short of time. Although these guys were "geared out"; none were good enough to save their lives. Only the gray matter between ones ears can save lives. sad to hear of this event jim gabriel *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
