Like Rob, I often tell my friends, "Less not end up the subject of a safety article in SK." ************************************** The lesson is not lost on us beginners, When I had my second level class at bluewater Kayak on Tomales Bay, our workshop was tides/currents/navigation. The scenario the instructor set up was something like you are socked in fog visibility is 100', wind is howling, tide is ebbing, so you got lots of steep chop, you have a friend meeting you on Hog Island and he is starting form another location. there is no way to contact him to cancell plans... you gotta go. So, sez he, how to you find your way to Hog Island? My answer, go back to the car, you don't want to end up in a Sea Kayaker article about kayaking disasters. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
