That's just it. Sitting in the middle of crossing taking pictures, eating a relaxed lunch, knowing that if I get hurt I don't need to tie up a third kayak for the return journey.

: I have to agree with Lee, skills and judgement are #1. Equipment follows, but
: the effectiveness of the equipment is dependent on the skills and
: judgement already present.
: Nick brought up a great point--sponsons, while not a panacea, could be a
: great benefit in some situations. Having a third paddler, though, to form
: a rafted tow is just as easy. And when they're not needed for rafting,
: they might bring chocolate chip cookies, making them even MORE valuable
: than sponsons!!!
