Well worth considering...& small, easy to pack.  Last summer anchored out my yak on low tide in Trib Bay Hornby Island.  Returning later that day at high tide I swam for it...seemed easy..I am fit and a good swimmer.  Given the cold water and incoming south easter I nearly drowned except for simply saying that was not an option and totally drained reached my kayak.  Tough call about what to do if the choice is between waiting for help and going for it.  Swim finns ...on the shopping list.   ... Gary
