If i struggle to get stuff out i have mates that can help, but i dont ever intend on going into my big hatch's on the water.
Importnat stuff to get to like a mars bar, nuts, and hip flask should be kept on person especial the latter.

I dont understand the socks not being but I do undrstand the seals, latex is a delicate meterial that degrades at a undetermind rate, most manufacturers do state that letex seals are not covered on the warrenty card.

Re: Companies that rock
Desperate measures, for forwarding my details to palm as an item only used twice due to injury had fallen to bits out of warranty. Which leads me to palm. For repairing said Cag out of warranty over Christmas, completely re sealed new gaskets the works,free of charge even though i was willing to pay.

Re: "Honest" club trip video
Loved it reminds me of the not so seroius days, te swimmers didn't seem to help them selfs much (no offence) but maybe a club wwsr course could be aranged.
They are good fun and as a group you may learn alot from them resulting in swims not being as long.
But looked like a great fun day out.
