PS: did a couple of successful self-rescues over the weekend. Drysuit turned out to be a very wet suit. Probably didn't tighten the Velcro enough, leaked at the feet and hands but the neck was good. I almost did my first roll as well. I was coming in to change out of my wet clothes when Linda ordered me to stay out and roll. I managed to get 3/4 of the way around (have pics to prove) but forgot to hip snap because I was so thrilled to go so far that I kind of let it go at that and rolled back under. If I get bored during my trip and the weather is good, I will do some practicing on Lake Winnipeg, where the water is warm and the beaches are silky smooth and vast.
