FYI- I ordered a shorter rope for training, along with everything else. It's listed as their 5ft knotted line for life ring, so that I don't have to ravel and unravel the long line every time.
After day one of training with his new equipment, he passed his mock water test...it was only his 4th time out training--I'm going to see if Gatorade will sponsor him soon...he's shocking me in the water!
Have fun!
