Hey Mary,

sorry for your wrists problems.
In my experiences a fully loaded seakayak is to roll quite easy. But it also
depends on the kayak. Is it a broad or a narrow one, high of the sitting
position.
But spoken in general words, the more weight you got in the kayak the better
it is for the centre of gravity which helps you for the roll.
But itīs also my experience, a fully loaded kayak is quite dificult to let
it capsize... because of the deep centre of gravity.

Best way may, you train it under controlled conditions and with a
realistically loaded kayak.

all the best
Jochen
