No acctually Gman didnt take the plunge,yesterday was my turn to go swimming!It was not easy unwrapping the keel either considering jako wrapped it around there TWICE(dont ask how)he doesnt even know! After it was all said and done we realized i swam to the bottom of the keel and stayed down for about 20-30 seconds unwrapping the whole time with my LIFEJACKET on! Hopefully today we can stay away from the bouys and stay in the pack!
