On one particular paddle waves freed them from their bondage on deck, unrolled and filled with water while the paddler was busy bracing. One guy capsized, rolled up, plucked his float up and got out of there. The other had to be helped out of her predicament. Unless you are using a seasock which likely precludes storing it in your cockpit, find a place behind your seat or make a place to keep it in your cockpit. Don't tempt the waves into stealing it and making a predicament out of you.
