[Paddlewise] More Thoughts on Bow Rescue

During roll practice in combat conditions, I once blew a bow rescue because 
I was trying to hang on to my paddle so it wouldn't float/blow away.  What 
do you do with a paddle (not leashed)? Let it go? try to hook it inside one 
arm, but then what do you do when you've got two hands on the rescuers 
bow.  Pass the paddle off before hip snapping up?  The reason I asked is 
that (besides blowing the bow rescue and having to wet exit) I lost the 
paddle in very confused big seas and having to set up the spare was not fun.
