Wow!! Man you were lucky! 2 hrs is a long swim. I think i'm going to start
wearing my 3/4 suit again!
I've had my board-rig separated and swam a good 1/4 mile to catch my board,
then i paddled it back and had to suffer
trying to connect it again which was nearly impossible in my state of
exhaustion. Glad you made it OK!
You have to give those rescue guys something to do anyway - otherwise they
sit around on there butts for
2 days! hehehe

See ya and lay hi to Lenn for me!
