I agree with Doug Loyd regarding importance of writing this case, but now-here, as well as possible, before final report next August or September in a magazine. I greatly appreciate Bob Myers added details on this sad case. Here are several questions I have: What type of boat, glass or plastic, decklines in place? Broad beam or narrow, bulkheads or airbags fore and aft? I assume Mr. Goodman had a spray skirt that he could remove without difficulty. I am particularly interested in the type of paddle (length, Greenland or Euro, off-set or not). That Mr. Goodman was a "strong paddler", at times "difficult to keep up with" suggests to me that he may have used a relatively short Euro paddle that power paddlers often prefer. Was Mr. Goodman able to roll his boat in his younger days?
