After my white shark attack last summer, and "follow" again this past week I am reminded its a good time to do another round of self rescue drills here in my hometown of Alameda.  I have found that doing repetitive self rescue builds nice "muscle memory" so you just do it when needed as opposed to having to think it all through or struggle needlessly. I have also changed some things on my boat setup based upon what I have learned in practice (zero leashes, left side of boat has nothing in my way, no bulging pfd pockets).

Anyone interested in joining me?  Im retired, timing flexible but this will probably be on a day when the weather is too shitty to fish.

Great idea. I think all kayakers should practice this. I have a habit of getting spontaneous practice by falling out.
