Nice video clips over the past several days. From what you have written and what I have seen in the videos you are obviously very comfortable with your self-rescue. Could you describe which technique you use? Could you go over any pros/cons you experienced with any other techniques for self-rescue. Did you have any "aha" moments where some small detail in your technique made it work much easier. I am working on my self-rescue with a different kayak and am not as comfortable with my abilities as I have been with my past kayaks so I would appreciate any hints you might have. Mark J.

Eastern Daylight Time, sandmarks_at_ca.rr.com writes: http://www.sandmarks.net/GoodDayBadDay.html Hey Mark, Love watching your kayaking videos, particularly since we're still in lock down mode here in (not so) sunny Maine. Seven inches of snow last night, would you believe. But better than the foot and a half last storm last week. Anyway, I was curious about your video camera mount for your kayak. You are getting some really great shots and I would love to know what you've rigged up to get them. Also, does the video camera mount impact your rolling/rescue abilities?

Mark, Thanks for the work you put into these reports. It's not just the fun of watching and reading, but we - well I - get to see places where other paddlers get to play, which broadens my horizons in a way. I was at the first Canadian-presented slide show of Nigel Foster's Labrador trip tonight here in Victoria. Nigel and Kristen were entertaining - and as usual - humble and graceful. There were lots of polar bear stories. And historical perspectives of Inuit peoples being displaced and relocated - sad. Kind of ties in with the book Chuck mentioned the other day. I noticed some new books at the kayak store where Nigel was giving his show. One of them is written by a friend of mine, Alex Mathews about rough water kayaking. It might be worth your while to take a gander at it. It's a little more sea kayaked based than say the Tsunami Ranger books which are targeted at a narrower audience, I think.

Here's a fun place to kayak: http://www.wel-shikoku.gr.jp/eng/seto/uzusio.htm Doug Lloyd (no affiliation with the above products) Victoria BC > My fourth day straight on the water. I'm gettin' tired.
