John, absolutely.  Pre-inflated paddle float, then move to solid foam paddle
float--less buoyant.  I also found it useful to put on a dive mask so that I
could see what the paddle was doing.  And maybe find water shallow enough
that you can push yourself back up with your paddle blade, so you can avoid
bailing.
