Paddlewisers, Sounds like they were surfskiers. All four (two made it on their own) couldn't turn into the wind to get to the near shore. I'll bet the surfski rudders kept their bows blowing downwind, preventing them from being able to turn into the safer direction. They all sounded very skilled. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/whatcompaddlers/message/2264 Duane *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
