That's all dead weight (no pun intended). Maybe, instead of trying to hoist them up head first, try to get their feet/legs accross the deck as far as possbile (as fast as possible) then maybe lean the 'yak as far as you can in the opposite direction to kind of work the butt up on the deck, then muscle the torso and head up. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Mon Jun 15 1998 - 12:31:25 PDT
