-----Original Message----- From: Rcgibbert_at_aol.com [mailto:Rcgibbert_at_aol.com] How exactly were you going to get back in in conditions enough to dump you and gather that load? And you want me to help you back up onto the barge I suppose? -----Reply------ I think you missed my point. If, for whatever reason (lack of good reasoning?) one feels they must have something on deck that might compromise a re-entry, then why not consider it expendable and if one does swim (which we're trying to avoid but didn't, just like we tried to avoid the deck load in the first place but didn't) I'd rather lose my sleeping bag (or whatever) than my life. Now we are back to re-entering a boat with clear decks at least. Having the deck load in the first place will compromise the roll, never mind the re-entry, so we're back to can you avoid it? If not, figure out how to lose it quickly. Maybe it will wash up on the beach a quarter mile away and you'll find it in the morning. Better than you washing up on the beach in a couple days (unless the waters cold in which case it will take much longer.)
