-	There are numerous stories about incidents of velcro in a leash failing - some with fortunate outcomes, others with disastrous results. Velcro that is old and/or dirty can have significantly reduced holding strength. Another problem with velcro is that it may not re-stick nearly as well once it is wet. Velcro that is in good shape and clean when stuck together dry has a general reputation for reliably keeping its bond after getting wet. But v//elcro//// that is already wet before fastening may have less holding strength// (//this needs some testing - how much does velcro age and condition factor in with reduced holding when connecting already wet velcro??//). If a leash gets tangled or for some other reason on the water has to have wet velcro unfastened, once the velcro is refastened the leash may be less secure than when it was first fastened for a paddle outing. But one definite rule is don't rely on older, worn velcro.	+	There are numerous stories about incidents of velcro in a leash failing - some with fortunate outcomes, others with disastrous results.

	One fundamental aspect of using weather apps and weather websites is to understand that none of them are perfect. With use you can learn to identify local weather patterns for which the apps tend to have greater accuracy and patterns which present problems for them (and consequently should lead you to the clear understanding that such problematic patterns result in less predictable conditions on the water and the potential of increased risk for you).

-	More than a few folks look at "forecasts" a tad too specifically in terms of time and location. If you also look at the map forecast and see that you will be on or near the edge of a clearly or potentially moving system or look at the forecast for the time after your planned outing and see that you are on or close to boundaries of change then you really have no business planning on the exactness and perfection of your forecast after you are on the water. If the forecast model you use usually comes within a decent range of actual weather you encounter and your downwind is predicted to be well within the boundaries of a given predicted weather system, then the forecast there is more likely to be reliable. But always use your own senses and pay attention to what you actually see before and during your paddles AND respond to conditions of potential risk as soon as you become aware of them.	+	More than a few folks look at "forecasts" a tad too specifically in terms of time and location.

-	More than a few folks look at "forecasts" a tad too specifically in terms of time and location. If you also look at the map forecast and see that you will be on or near the edge of a clearly or potentially moving system or look at the forecast for the time after your planned outing and see that you are on or close to boundaries of change then you really have no business planning on the exactness and perfection of your forecast after you are on the water. If the forecast model you use usually comes within a decent range of actual weather you encounter and your downwind is predicted to be well within the boundaries of a given predicted weather system, then the forecast there is more likely to be reliable. But always use your own senses and pay attention to what you actually see before and during your paddles AND respond to conditions of potential risk as soon as you become aware of them.	+	More than a few folks look at "forecasts" a tad too specifically in terms of time and location.
