However, as a working hypothesis, it's better to think that no one may be able to help you. Even Kathleen (and Shane Baker once) went out with someone and conditions were such that no one knew they went in (almost in Kathleen's case and in fact in Shanes). It sounds like Kathleen is trying to shift the odd's in her favor with the goodie bag. Good thinking on her part. |

Although the leash is undoubtedly paramount in rough conditions, two leashes are not advisable. Such an arrangement invites a tangle that could make remounting much more difficult. A paddle leash has the advantage of allowing the paddler to use both hands to remount and then retrieve the paddle once you're back on the ski with both feet dangling in the water to provide stability. |
