Just got around to reading "A Series of Capsizes" by Rob Gibbert in the August 2008 issue of Sea Kayaker . Nicely written article and very thorough. I noticed several times that the capsizee was having troubles with weathercocking, but there was no explanation of the cause. I am very curious what the possible cause and cure could be. The article certainly causes one to re-evaluate the pursuit of solo paddling. Also in the same issue, the article by Eric Soares sure brings home our own fallibility. Definitely interesting and somewhat disturbing reading. And on top of that, a neat article by Duane Strosaker on marathon paddling to Catalina Island. Did he really paddle 100 miles in a day? Where's my calculator? That sounds like 10 mph. I have to rest now. Brad Quoting rcgibbert_at_aol.com: > Thanks Dave, for the good comments.
