    I find your calm voice very fitting for an instructional video. Helps remove anxiety and worries. Keep it up 😊

    Great video. Keep the spare paddle off the back deck to make those re-entries much easier 👍
  • One day, somebody will film one of these self-rescue videos in the actual sea conditions that are going to make you tip out in the first place. This drill is an order of magnitude harder when the waves and wind are tossing you round like a rag doll and the boat keeps refilling with water. I've found out the hard way that it's best to practice it in those conditions, before you have to do it for real.

    When rescue is needed do not complicate this by social distancing. Keep an eye on what you get or what to loose. C-19 can be treated. A lost life not. It’s simple as that. Keep kayaking on and let the dark hats run out of business. Cheers 🛶

    This is not a practical re-entry technique for typical open ocean conditions.
