Until now, Iīve never capsized on the sea. [SNIP] Good philosophy, but reality can always rear its ugly head. I had never unintentially capsized in seven years of paddling until a few months ago. I was having boat problems and while leaning to compensate met with a wave. I was very suprised (and extremely angry) to find myself upside down (and I was having a really bad day), in fact I was so suprised that I blew my set up and and my roll and ended up bailing. No big deal but it did prove that even when you "never" capsize, you still can. -Patrick *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
