[black][size 3]Hey TD,[/size][/black]
[black][size 3][/size][/black]
[black][size 3]You just describe my modus operandii for tube navigation. At least that was the case before I met you, and you gave the clue-in on appropriate flippers - I was impressed at that time that you didn't fall down laughing at me for asking such stupid questions. (Thank you ever so kindly)[/size][/black]
[black][size 3][/size][/black]
[black][size 3]I think I've told you before about how I used to just launch my tube on small lakes and drift to the other side of the lake using only wind power. When I finally reached the other side, I would then have to walk all the way back. [/size][/black]
[black][size 3][/size][/black]
[black][size 3]I had to do that, because at the time, I only had those useless stiff and half sized fins that would not propel me anywhere - which, because they were vitually useless, I usually didn't even wear them - I just wore my wading shoes. [/size][/black][black][size 3][/size][/black]
[black][size 3][/size][/black]
[black][size 3]There were a couple of times however, that I spent far longer than intended in the middle of the lake because the wind died down. Once it was all day and I didn't get ashore untill well after dark - thankfully it was a rather small lake, as it was very remote and I was the only person on it. That was the experience that was the original inspiration for me to search for information - which eventually led me to you and BFT.[/size][/black]
