For sure -- I wouldn't want to have to cut a rope in a split second to save my bacon....carrying a knife is something I almost always do, but the idea that I'd actually be able to reach it in time sounds not so good to me......kind of like welding without a face shield with the idea that I'd just "turn my head" if some sparks started shooting out ;).
-- Beth picked up a couple of pretty neat PFDs with fishing tackle compartments....making me much more likely to use it. I figure this is probably a good thing.
Still trying to figure out the anchor system. Again, I appreciate the wisdom! I really enjoy peaceful, slack areas so I'm thinking a 3-pound dumbell weight with a rope that I could sit on would probably work for my needs (not that I'll do that, just describing) - I'll probably just work out something with those climbing hook things and clamps to contain the extra rope.
I went out and did some casting this evening from a sitting position as alluded to earlier ^^. It was a little easier that I recall on the water, but that's almost always the case ;). I'm sure I'll get used to it.
