I have no advice to offer you, Vivian. I am sitting here at work reading your thread and started to wonder why it's called a "wet exit". If you are in a kayak, any exit while on the water is bound to be wet. Please, anyone, if there is such an animal as a "dry exit"...chirp in. In my experience, all exits, even just getting out after a nice day of paddling, have been wet. No wait, I got this one myself. When I paddle during temperatures of about -10 C, all exits are not wet, they are dry...well, as dry as exiting onto river ice can be.
