Yes, that was the thread!

I have a recurring nightmare about being pitched back into the water whilst still in a tpa. Agreed though that they are much better than the silver foil blankets - blizzard bags are good. I have only...

I had wondered about that. The 'home' launch site I have in mind would be quite shallow (which I know can bring it's own issues) but it would be a shame to be a bit limited when on the road. In years...
