I almost DIED!!!!!

I've removed the plugs on my PA twice, one of the two times I almost forgot to put them back, I think I remembered the next day. Now, if I wash the inside of the kayak I just scoop up the water with a large towel. I'd rather go through the extra work than to have something happen on the water because I forgot to put my plugs back in.

Glad you made it back OK. Sh*t can go south in an instant.
