Calm lazy rivers and lakes don't get cockpits wet.
Are your paddles dripping into the boat ?

You will want to try "flipping"
to see where that skirt Pull-Tab is,
when you're discombobulated upside down.
Current may gently push you into a strainer,
log, obstruction, etc.
Please use caution on retro-fitting combing/skirts
