Nobody wants to start the day out cold and wet. [big snip] I agree it is not customer friendly to start them out wet. OTOH, they should understand and appreciate the nature of the boat/system they are about to use for transport. Could be that some attention to a change of clothes, and some ample towelage would allow them to sample a wet exit or two, dry off and change into dry togs, and then go touring. Probably make them a bit more cautious about capsizing, no? -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
