Rick, have you read the book _Sea Kayaker's Deep Trouble: True Stories and Their Lessons from Sea Kayaker Magazine_ by Matt Broze (Contributor), George Gronseth, and Chris Cunningham (Editor)? Several stories in it explained weird combinations of wind, tide, land, and current that caused confused seas and treachery for sea kayakers. I recommend it highly, even to paddlers like me who ordinarily stay on lakes and rivers. On a safety note, I have a new idea for the 2001 paddling season. I am going to print "Float Plan" business cards at home with Avery business card stock. They will have my name, emergency contact info, color of boat, color of PFD, and a line where I can fill out a date and time of my estimated time of return. These will be handy to give rangers when I paddle at a county or state park. -Bob Matter Hammond, IN ----------- "If we don't go outside, it stops our brains." --Caroline Bowden, 1st Grade *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
