: All that Pete says is really excellent advice. Learning the wet
: exit is the first thing you should do - and a dive mask or
: goggles and a nose clip will help immeasurably. A wet exit uses
: basically the same hand motions as pushing your pants down your
: hips.
: You should also have floatation bags for your boat, of course.

: Have fun!
: Actually, I've considered sponsons, prolly look a little dumb for an ole man, make it simpler for an ole fart
