<DIV><B>Subject:</B> Symposium</DIV></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Had a really good time at the symposium. I
always feel so welcome with my fellow CKFers, like I have been a member for a
long time, I'm only sorry that I could only stay one day.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I learned a lot on the water and while I was
hanging upside-down (alot) in the rolling class I was able to develop a new
kayak invention.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>While I was hanging in the murky, weedy backwater,
I thought to my self, 'self' what I would really like is a way to breathe about
now.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I came up (for air and) with a system not unlike
the backpack hydration systems that some of us carry on our backs, only
different.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm thinking that one could have a thru-hull
fitting in the very bottom of the boat with a hose leading up to the
shoulder of ones PFD so that when the bottom becomes the top one would have a
snorkel to the surface. With this device one could hang as long as one
wanted to sort out the set up for ones roll and when said roll failed one you
could think about what went wrong and then try again.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As accessory to this could be another thru-hull
that would launch flares and/or a beacon light.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As a last resort, failing the feasibility of all of
the above, I guess that a reliable roll would, maybe, be a good
idea. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Guess I'll have to work on that.</FONT></DIV>
