In Response To: BEFORE it hits the fan (Rob Macks)

: Is there a good safety book out there for sea kayakers? I've seen a lot of
: self rescue techniques at kayak symposiums and wish I had a reference for
: them.

Haven't had a chance to read it yet so I can't give a full review, but I did find this on the shelf a couple of days ago. Looks like a pretty fair reference for self- and assisted- rescues.
