In response to Simon’s sticker. I always go through my checklist (count to 6) when I go home. Mostly it works. 1) tie front of boat 2) tie back of boat 3) paddle is in car 4) life vest 5) GPS 6) leash
I’ve never really made one for starting out…. after all, its hard to paddle without the boat or paddle! But I’m going to start one 1) leash 2) GPS 3) Radio for gear and then one to remain conscious and present: 1) whats the weather going to do? 2) appropriate clothing for the conditions? 3) should I buddy up? 4) do my buddies have the appropriate gear? 5) If I buddy up, whats our bail out plan.
