 So, I'll keep an open mind about this and maybe someday I'll get some 15'
 seas and a ripping enough current and think twice. Until then . . . thanks
 for the input. >>

Hi Joel,

One of the problems with removing your fins, is that the current and the wind 
don't always travel in the same direction. A moderate wind can grab the boat 
and spin it perpendicular to the current, but the granny line will be headed 
off in the opposite direction with the current. By the time you have situated 
yourself and got your fins on, you are now 100 or so ft from the boat, in a 
current that you cannot possibly swim against to get back. Plan on leaving a 
substantial tip when Maggie has swim out to rescue you.

Kevin
