[Paddlewise] reentry & roll - what then

G'Day,

It was very encouraging to get all the feedback on reentry 
and roll in rough conditions - seems there were 6 
suggestions: -

1. get a bombproof roll
2. get an easy to fit (custom) spray skirt
3. fit spare paddle under the deckrigging to stabilise the 
   boat after rolling up.
4. get a hands free pump 
5. brace the paddle across the shoulder and under the elbow 
   while pulling the sprayskirt back on. But there was some 
   concern about shoulder dislocation and a request for 
   further comments
6. fit a paddlefloat to the paddle, reenter, roll up and 
   then use it to stabilise the boat

I'll try all of them over the next few weekends. 
Number 1 may take longer!

Anyway thanks Jed, Peter, Chuck, Patrick and Bryan for all
the suggestions (and Larry if he's there for persuading me 
to try in the 1st place)

All the best, PeterO
