Kayak Exit and Entry in Deep Water - Fails and Successes in Practice

Rum Island County Park, Florida Wednesday June 15, 2022
My wife Tina and I tested her new kayak and I practiced deep water kayak exits and entries for solo kayaking out of tidal creeks to the Gulf of Mexico channels and islands.
I had Tina video some tests of an idea that failed. Also flipped the kayak due to clips mounted to the hull by the manufacturer. Probably will redesign the paddle strap layout. Put the clip on the bungee cord, have a simple loop cleat that won't snag clothing or gear.
She had far too much fun watching me fail. the upside is that she learned to video well and also got comfortable with her kayak.

(Practice. Practice. Practice. We spent the next Wednesday June 22, 2022 at Sand Ridge Road boat ramp in the Jena Unit near Casey's Cove in Jena/Steinhatchee, FL where she enjoyed the high tide pedaling the bay.)
More videos to come. The water was warm and the practice was fun, despite the upsets.
