Would that count as winter cross-training?

   I didn't know that an octopus could ski. I'll bet they
could paddle a kayak too.

G'day

I guess an octopus would need four paddles - imagine the rolls they could do!

It sounds like the solution to my re-entry & roll issues:
+2 arms to get into the boat
+3 to put the deck on
+2 to grip the paddle & roll up
+1 for my hat
