admit to an inherent bias, but the photo of Steve and Duane together illustrates
why I have an electric bilge pump in my boat. Alone on the water in rough
conditions it would be practically impossible to pump out your boat alone. Once
Steve was in his boat, he was unable to make forward progress as unstable as he
was. With an electric pump emptying your boat, you can concentrate on remaining
upright. Steve's swim also shows why I like a bow line on my boat. I can keep
hold of my boat from a safer distance and helps me swim away from danger. I
still wonder why they're not more utilized.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I like the underwater reentry and roll in rough
waters because it reduces the risk of boats getting tossed into each
other. Once a paddler has learned how to roll, the paddle float is
generally not needed and just adds time to the process.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yet, if you are paddling solo, a paddle float
might be your last line of defense. Paddlefloats can also be
used to stabilize a boat if someone gets sea sick or
incapacitated.</FONT></DIV>
