One of the problems is most SJ outfitters have gone for years and years guiding the relatively clam waters of the SJ's with out incident so why not guide without proper gear. It's the norm. We are the weirdoes for being so over cautious. George Gronseth and I had a talk a few years ago and came to the conclusion that we were the only outfitters up there who were using wetsuits and teaching proper safety. Maybed there were others but we never crossed paths. A theory I have is dress for the water temp and you're a weirdo for NOT wanting to go swimming and practice RESCUES and RECOVERIES! =:-o) steve *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
