Anyway, thought Dan covered the rolling issue it very well, actually. Sea kayaking isn't always so night-black and day-white. Usually subtle shades most of the time as you know. My thoughts about sea kayaking in general and rolling in particular, parallel my thoughts about most other things in life too - if it ain't fun, stop. Caught The Manchurian Candidate (the remake with Denzil Washington) last night on DVD. There was a scene where the President-to-be drowns a Senator while he's out kayaking. We used to try and do this too each other at our Club pool sessions, unexpectedly having a swimmer go in and flip (or try to flip) people over in their yaks and keep 'm down until they got their groove and did a strong enough roll back up. No. Not to the point of drowning, but I remember taking a lot of water up the nose one night. Good stuff man. Ah those were the days - slap me silly or what?
