Darryl If you knew the odds of drowning while kayaking during each year were one in 5000 would you paddle? Would you let your children take up kayaking? Would you rescue someone else who took on that level of risk? If you live in an urban area that is about the average risk of dying in an auto accident (each year) if you drive a car. Thank you Dave Kruger for your well reasoned comments on this subject. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
