Thanks for that update Bob. Helps shed some new light.

I know a number of paddlers in Victoria who would fit this profile; however, 
these guys tend to paddle together.

I'm sure no one likes been written up, nor perhaps their remaining 
family/friends seeing someone's mistakes and subsequent lessons learned 
(even if for the benefit of others), but I do think maybe someone down there 
should think about contacting Seakayaker Magazine for a safety article. It 
might make more people think about the tragic consequences of some of the 
choices we make.
