It's good to see Lenze, Niels and hopefully many others taking this discussion in the manner that Duane and the Steves, Brown and Holtzman, tried to provoke. Some others show no perception of the underlying principle, and ironicly that lack of perception proves the principle. The principle is-"The limits of your perception are not necessarily the limits of all there is to perceive". Just because you have never had an emergency does not mean you won't. And it is nice to paddle with people you know can perform a tee rescue in just one minute or immediately exticate a swimmer from a boiling rock garden. Kayak fun is directly proportional to kayak traing. There are some things you cannot have too many of-friends, dogs, kayaks and kayak training.
