I don't know how many people use seasocks on the list, though I believe they improve safety quite a bit, because I wonder if someone has come up with a pump that would attach at the lowest part of a seasock. I suppose it would be easy to create hole and screw-on adapter at the bottom of a sock to attach to a pump. Then, just in case significant water got in the boat anyway, another tube would lead from the bilges to feed into the same pump. With float bags (secured), the quantity of water would be small enough not to require a major pump. A backup bailer or pump, tethered to the inside of the cockpit, is not a bad idea, either. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
