I have tried to read anything on this topic and I have yet to see one that says how to do it. Seems to me if you are a person like me who is 68 years old, and go out on this kayak by yourself, and it rolls, all I could do is get on the bottom of it. So, how likely is it to capsize (if in the Back Bay area near Virginia Beach)? I would not take it out into the Chesapeake bay or the Atlantic Ocean. Thoughts?

Unless your weight is less than 125 pounds, I see no reason why the Waterbug rescue rope won't work to "right" your PA-17.
It works fine for my PA-14 and I am older than you :wink:
You should practice righting your PA-17 before it actually happens, so you know in advance, how to bring her back right side up.
