No swim, no problem. Until now, Iīve never capsized on the sea. Every time there was the chance to swim, I react by reflex and do the damn right to stay over the water. But of course, Iīm good at rolling up and reenter by float or under water. You never could know... safe paddling Jochen *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
