Rolling in dangerous conditions. The count to three with banging was proven useful in 2000, in the Louisiana Bayous where, just around the bend, there was a 10 foot crocodile, that we just saw before, as we walked by. At the time my roll was poor. Arthur Hebert, the Gulf of Mexico single crosser and I, tried to roll the double Tabasco. http://outdoors.webshots.com/photo/1053659823031769591alUoRJ http://outdoors.webshots.com/photo/1053660001031769591LoudQH http://outdoors.webshots.com/photo/1053660135031769591XoJcxK I made the contrary movements on the first roll and we capsized. My son was shouting at me "Beware of the Crocodile". We wet exited and I held the boat and Arthur climbed at great speed. Then he sculled as I climbed up. (First picture). We tried again and the roll was successful. The motivation of the croc there did help a lot. On later times we have tried with different people, with basic rolling abilities, and have not missed one. The tandem can be rolled by one person, and takes only little sculling support from the other. http://outdoors.webshots.com/photo/1086163467031769591hULjKa Best Regards, Rafael Mexico. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
