Re: [TMIC] Fwd: The Great Swimming/Diving Adventure
Each time ya go into the water, it will get better. Yes, the leg do float very easily. Please let us know how much weighs how well it works for ya. lol I like the ideal of using an old wheelchair. I'm looking for a waterproof walker made of PVC pipe. I have used a boogie board to catch waves, but it's very hard to get out far enough to catch the waves. lol Keep up the great job keep us posted on your Great Swimming/Diving Adventures, Todd in Corpus Christi, TX From: James Berg molokai...@gmail.com To: tmic-l...@eskimo.net Sent: Sun, August 12, 2012 4:36:47 PM Subject: [TMIC] Fwd: The Great Swimming/Diving Adventure Please laugh with me.

First of all, my leaden legs that are so heavy are really large cork floats and didn't need any floatation at all. Secondly, even without additional flotation, my floaty legs flipped me over very easily and I found my self on my back with my snorkle in the water. I really don't like breathing water. The life vest helped but my legs continued to be a problem. Of course you can't dive with a vest on. What really did work well was using an old wheel chair to access the boat launch ramp. In and out worked well. So next time we'll try leg weights, but not too much, I don't want to drag on the reef and some type of waist/chest flotation device. Thanks to my friends and family for the help or I would have drowned. Jim

Okay – you gave it a great try.No faulting that. What doesn’t work one way, ingenuity can figure out another way. I have all the confidence in the world for you to accomplish this feat, just don’t go into the water alone!!
