On my last trip to San O, I did just this. Holding on to my bowline with my PFD on, backstroke seems the best way to go and having a fin really helped. I just wish the stupid waves would take my boat in so I could just worry about getting myself to shore. On every swim, I've got to lug a kayak full of water. But that's my life! Mark -----Original Message----- On Behalf Of Doug Lloyd I've often toyed with the idea of swim fins being carried on my back deck, readily available. With my decreased swimming endurance as I age, the proposition is looking better at outfitting myself thusly. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
